Coarctation of Aorta Balloon Dilatation / Stenting Cost in India

Q: Is balloon dilatation or surgery better for coarctation?

For newborns and infants with native coarctation, surgery is usually preferred. For re-coarctation after surgery, balloon angioplasty is effective. For older children and adults, stenting gives excellent results with a short hospital stay.

Know More About Procedure & Surgery

Coarctation of Aorta Balloon Dilatation / Stenting in India

Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital narrowing of the main artery (aorta) that causes high blood pressure in the arms and weak blood flow to the legs. Balloon dilatation - with or without a stent - opens the narrowed segment through a catheter from the groin, avoiding open chest surgery in suitable children and adults.

Cost of coarctation balloon dilatation in India starts from USD 4500 at leading JCI / NABH accredited hospitals. 2-3 days in hospital; total stay in india 7-10 days.

Package	Cost (USD)	Room	Hospital stay
Coarctation Balloon Dilatation (balloon included)	4500 USD	Twin Sharing	2-3 days
Coarctation Stenting (covered / bare stent included)	7000 USD	Twin Sharing	3 days

Final cost depends on the hospital, room category, doctor, number of devices used and the patient's medical condition. Share your reports with Satyug Healthcare for a free written estimate.

About the Procedure

In infants and young children, balloon angioplasty is used mainly for re-coarctation after surgery; native coarctation in older children and adults is usually treated with a stent.
A balloon catheter is passed from the groin artery to the narrowed segment and inflated to stretch it.
In older children and adults, a stent (often a covered stent) is expanded to hold the aorta open and reduce the risk of re-narrowing or aneurysm.
The pressure difference across the narrowing is measured before and after to confirm success.

Purpose of the Procedure

Relieve narrowing of the aorta and normalise blood flow to the lower body
Control high blood pressure in the arms and prevent heart failure
Treat re-coarctation after previous surgery
Avoid repeat open surgery

Diagnosis and Tests Before the Procedure

2D Echo with Doppler gradient
CT or MRI aortogram to measure the narrowed segment
Arm-leg blood pressure difference
ECG, chest X-ray and routine blood tests

Step-by-Step Procedure

Admission and evaluation; general anaesthesia for children
Groin artery access and angiography of the aorta
Measurement of pressure gradient across the coarctation
Balloon inflation or stent deployment at the narrowed segment
Repeat angiography and pressure measurement
Monitoring in CCU/PICU for 24 hours

Risks and Possible Complications

Aortic wall tear (dissection) or aneurysm formation - rare, reduced by covered stents
Bleeding or artery damage at the groin
Stent movement (rare)
Re-narrowing needing repeat dilatation as the child grows
Persistent high blood pressure needing medicines

Your specialist will explain the risks specific to your condition. Choosing an experienced, high-volume hospital keeps complication rates very low.

Recovery and Aftercare

Discharge in 2-3 days
Avoid heavy exercise for 4-6 weeks after stenting
BP monitoring and CT/MRI follow-up at 6-12 months
Repeat dilatation of the stent may be needed as children grow
