The cost of open heart surgery in Mexico typically ranges from 30 261 € to 47 553 €. Prices vary depending on the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, the complexity of the procedure (such as CABG, valve replacement, or congenital defect repair), and the type of prosthetic materials used. In the United States, the average cost is 138 335 € (per AHA). This means open heart surgery in Mexico is about 72% less than in the U.S.
In Mexico, the price usually covers pre-operative tests, cardiologist and anesthesiologist fees, use of the operating room, surgical team, high-quality prosthetic valves or grafts, several days of ICU and hospital stay, medications, and post-op follow-ups. In the U.S., fees for anesthesia, ICU, and prosthetic materials are often billed separately from the surgeon’s fee. Always confirm what’s included with your chosen clinic or hospital.
