When it comes to medical tourism, it’s nice to have answers. One of the first thing that crosses the mind of someone who’s interested in obtaining health care abroad is the training, education, and experience of those who will be providing such care.

Medical tourism is not just about dental procedures, but may range from orthopedic fields to cardiac care, cosmetic and plastic surgery, obesity and weight loss surgery to adult stem cell research and therapy. Medical tourists have ventured to the Middle East, Asia, and South America for heart transplantation, heart valve replacement surgery, and coronary artery bypass surgeries. They have flocked to South America for affordable cosmetic dentistry, bridge work, dental implant surgeries, and affordable dentures.

Individuals seeking the best in obesity and weight loss surgical procedures have traveled to locations in South America and Central Europe for the best in bariatric surgery, laparoscopic gastric bypass procedures, lap band surgery and sleeve gastrectomy procedures.

PlacidWay, a medical tourism portal based in Denver, Colorado, offers reliable, up-to-date information regarding popular medical tourism destinations, treatments, procedures, facilities, and the doctors and surgeons who staff them. Pramod Goel, founder and CEO, knows the type of questions people one answered when it comes to their health care, and is dedicated to providing that information.

After all, we should all have a choice in how, when, and where we receive our medical care. It’s all about choices. Medical tourism is bringing accredited, certified, and affordable world-class medical techniques and procedures into the common Health Care Industry and is the wave of the future, from teeth whitening to stem cell technologies.

A heart surgery procedure can range from angioplasty to coronary artery bypass to valve replacement to a heart transplant. Where can individuals go for such treatments and heart care? Expert heart surgeons are available around the world, and in countries that rank higher than the U.S. in health care.


For example, costs for angioplasty procedures in the U.S. costs will depend on type of procedure (balloon or angioplasty with vascular stents). Average costs for such procedures range around $57,000. Medical travelers taking advantage of excellently trained and certified physicians in countries like India, Singapore and Thailand may enjoy huge cost savings. The same procedures in India generally cost around $11,000, while the same procedures cost around $13,000 in Singapore and Thailand.


For those needing heart valve replacement surgery or cardiac bypass surgery, world-class heart physicians and cardiac specialists offer superlative heart care and treatment as well as procedures that offer state of the art technology and training.


Cardiac surgery is expensive in the United States. Heart valve replacement or repair in the United States costs an average of $25,000 per valve. Mitral valve replacement may cost around $14,000 to $20,000. Many patients undergoing multiple valve replacement surgical procedures may expect to pay up to $100,000 for such services.

Medical travelers to the Artemis Health Institute in India enjoy the same quality of service at greater savings, with single valve replacements generally costing around $9,500 and double valve replacements costing around $11,500.

Take advantage of global opportunities in the 21st century. Expand your horizons, as well as your heart health care by exploring and researching heart surgery abroad.
