It’s a shame that the things we need the most are the most expensive. When it comes to life-saving surgical procedures, many people opt out of surgery because they don’t want to bankrupt their families. This just isn’t right. So what can you do? Expert heart surgeons are available around the world, and in countries that rank higher than the U.S. in health care.

Unfortunately, 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. When all is said and done, multiple valve replacement surgical procedures may end up costing $100,000.

But think about this: heart surgery in India charges an average of $9,500 for single-valve replacements and double valve replacements cost around $11,500.

You can enjoy the benefits of common heart surgeries abroad, such as:

Angioplasty restores blood flow through the damaged artery.
