Frequently Asked Questions
CABG at Charak Hospital, Lucknow costs approximately ₹2,00,000 – ₹4,50,000 depending on the number of grafts and ICU stay. Cashless treatment is available under CGHS, ECHS, Ayushman Bharat and most private TPAs.
Single valve replacement costs ₹2,50,000 – ₹4,00,000 and double valve replacement ₹3,50,000 – ₹5,50,000 at Charak Hospital. Mechanical or bioprosthetic valve choice, patient condition and ICU stay affect the final cost.
On-pump CABG uses a heart-lung bypass machine to stop the heart during surgery. Off-pump (beating heart) CABG is performed on the beating heart without bypass. Off-pump surgery carries lower risks for some patients (less blood transfusion, shorter ICU stay) but requires greater surgical skill.
VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) is minimally invasive chest surgery through small incisions with a camera. It is used for lung resection, lung biopsy, pleural effusion drainage, treatment of pneumothorax and early-stage lung cancer. Recovery is faster than open chest surgery with less pain and shorter hospital stay.
Hospital discharge is usually within 7–10 days after CABG or valve surgery. Patients resume light activities in 4–6 weeks and achieve full recovery in 6–12 weeks. Regular follow-up at Charak Hospital's CTVS OPD is essential during this period.
