It remains the standard for extensive multi-vessel disease where angioplasty alone isn't the safer option.
Traditional CABG stops the heart temporarily using a heart-lung machine; off-pump CABG operates on the beating heart for eligible cases, often with a shorter ICU stay.
The internal mammary artery (chest), radial artery (arm) or saphenous vein (leg) are the most common graft sources, chosen based on your anatomy and number of blockages.
Bypass is sometimes combined with valve repair in the same operation when both issues are present — confirmed during your pre-surgical work-up.
Your angiogram is reviewed by a cardiac surgeon to confirm bypass is the right approach and how many grafts are needed.
Bloodwork, echocardiogram and anaesthesia clearance completed shortly after arrival in India.
Surgery followed by 1–2 days of ICU monitoring, then step-down to a standard cardiac ward.
Supervised walking and breathing exercises typically start within days of surgery to support recovery.
Your surgeon confirms you're medically cleared to travel, with a full report sent to your home cardiologist.
Figures below are indicative ranges reported across accredited Indian hospitals, for planning purposes only — not a marketed or final price.
| Procedure | Indicative cost (USD) | Typical hospital stay |
|---|---|---|
| Single/double bypass, on-pump | $5,500 – $7,500 | 6–8 days |
| Triple/quadruple bypass, on-pump | $7,000 – $9,500 | 7–9 days |
| Off-pump (beating-heart) bypass | $6,000 – $9,000 | 5–7 days |
| Redo bypass (previous cardiac surgery) | $8,000 – $12,000 | 8–11 days |
What this actually covers, and what it doesn't: Number of grafts and whether it's a first-time or redo surgery are the biggest cost drivers — MedTrav's written estimate is confirmed only after your angiogram is reviewed by the operating surgeon.

CABG is typically recommended over angioplasty when multiple coronary arteries are significantly blocked, when the left main artery is involved, or when a patient has diabetes with extensive multi-vessel disease — your cardiologist's angiogram findings determine which approach applies.
Traditional CABG uses a mid-chest incision with the heart temporarily stopped and blood circulated by a heart-lung machine. Off-pump (beating-heart) CABG avoids the heart-lung machine for eligible cases, and minimally invasive approaches are available at some partner hospitals for selected patients.
This depends on how many arteries are blocked — single, double, triple or quadruple bypass are all performed, confirmed by your angiogram before surgery. More grafts generally mean longer surgery and ICU time.
Most patients spend 1–2 days in the ICU followed by 5–7 days on a standard ward, with fitness-to-fly clearance typically around 10–14 days after surgery, once wound healing and cardiac function are confirmed stable.
Yes — a prior stent doesn't rule out bypass surgery if new or progressive blockages develop elsewhere; your surgical team reviews your full cardiac history, including any previous interventions, before confirming the plan.
