Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / October 2005How much is Aortic Valve Replacement surgery ( including diagnosis ).
Regards, Ranko > Regards, Ranko If one has some of the symptoms, an echocardigram can be helpful in diagnosis. It often costs less than $1000 depending on your circumstances. It could be significantly less to you or even nothing depending on insurance etc. The procedure you describe is a complicated one http://www.sts.org/doc/3620 and you should not be asking here how much. It is a lot of money. But how much it will cost you depends on where you are, what your circumstances, are etc. You should be discussing this with your Drs. or any financial aid people they can direct you to. Things also vary greatly from country to country and your status within those countries. Bill I mean in US and no insurance. Thanks, rm. > I mean in US and no insurance. > Thanks, rm. If you have to ask then you can't afford it. Try Medicaid state programs. >> I mean in US and no insurance. >> Thanks, rm. >> > If you have to ask then you can't afford it. Try Medicaid state programs. That's right. Or some people are going to Thiland or India for expensive operations at 1/3 the price, good qualitiy. But check around for options.
