Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Aortic Root Replacement. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
Aortic root replacement is a major open-heart operation that removes the diseased base of the aorta — the large artery leaving the heart — and replaces it with a synthetic fabric graft, with or without a new valve depending on the technique chosen. It is performed for conditions such as a growing aneurysm of the root, an acute aortic dissection, severe valve disease combined with root enlargement, or destruction of root tissue by infection. Four main surgical approaches are in use: the Bentall procedure (a composite valve-graft replacing both root and valve), the David valve-sparing procedure (preserving the patient's own valve inside a new graft), the Ross procedure (moving the patient's pulmonary valve into the aortic position), and homograft replacement using donated tissue. The operation requires cardiopulmonary bypass and typically lasts four to eight hours; most patients spend two to four days in intensive care and seven to twelve days in hospital in total. Long-term outcomes after elective surgery at experienced centres are generally excellent.
The aortic root and valve are removed together and replaced with a single composite graft containing a durable mechanical valve; the coronary arteries are reattached to the new graft.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE), CT Angiogram of the aorta, Coronary Angiogram, Pulmonary Function Test, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood group and cross-match, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $12,500 – $17,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
The same composite root-and-valve replacement as the mechanical Bentall, but using an animal-tissue valve that avoids the need for lifelong blood thinners though it may wear out after 10–20 years.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE), CT Angiogram of the aorta, Coronary Angiogram, Pulmonary Function Test, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood group and cross-match, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $17,000 – $22,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
The diseased root is removed and replaced with a fabric graft while the patient's own healthy valve leaflets are preserved inside it, avoiding a prosthetic valve and the need for lifelong blood thinners.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE), Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE/TEE), CT Angiogram of the aorta, Coronary Angiogram, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood group and cross-match, Chest X-ray. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $14,000 – $20,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
The patient's own pulmonary valve is moved into the aortic position to replace the diseased root, and a donor graft replaces the pulmonary valve — offering a living, non-anticoagulated valve best suited to younger patients.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE), Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE/TEE), CT Angiogram of the aorta, Coronary Angiogram, Pulmonary Function Test, CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $15,000 – $21,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~11 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 28 days
The diseased root and valve are replaced with a preserved section of aortic root and valve taken from a human donor tissue bank, most often used when severe infection has destroyed the native root.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Transthoracic Echocardiogram (TTE), Transoesophageal Echocardiogram (TOE/TEE), CT Angiogram of the aorta, Coronary Angiogram, Blood cultures (if active endocarditis), CBC, LFT, KFT, PT/INR, Blood group and cross-match. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $14,000 – $20,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~12 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 29 days
