Redo CABG (redo coronary artery bypass grafting) is a repeat open-heart bypass operation performed on patients whose previous bypass grafts have narrowed or closed, or whose coronary artery disease has progressed to cause new blockages. The goal is the same as the first bypass — to create new routes around blocked arteries and restore blood flow to the heart muscle — but the surgery is technically more demanding because the chest has already been opened, scar tissue surrounds the heart, and prior grafts must be identified and protected during re-entry. Redo CABG is typically recommended when symptoms such as chest pain and breathlessness have returned despite medication and when stenting is unlikely to give a durable result. The operation takes four to seven hours and is performed by experienced reoperative cardiac surgical teams. Recovery is often a little slower than after a first bypass, but many patients achieve meaningful relief from symptoms and improved exercise tolerance.
The breastbone is reopened along the original scar and bypass grafts are placed with the heart stopped and a heart-lung machine circulating the blood.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,500
Typical tests for this variant: Coronary angiography (graft and native vessel assessment), CT scan of the chest (sternal re-entry planning), 2D Echocardiography, Carotid Doppler ultrasound, Cardiac MRI or stress imaging for myocardial viability (if indicated), CBC, LFT, KFT, electrolytes, PT/INR and coagulation profile, HbA1c and fasting blood sugar, Pulmonary function test (spirometry), Upper and lower limb vein/artery mapping (Doppler). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $9,500 – $11,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~10 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 27 days
The chest is reopened but bypass grafts are placed on a still-beating heart without using the heart-lung machine, reducing certain systemic risks.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,500
Typical tests for this variant: Coronary angiography (graft and native vessel assessment), CT scan of the chest (sternal re-entry planning), 2D Echocardiography, Carotid Doppler ultrasound, Cardiac MRI or stress imaging for myocardial viability (if indicated), CBC, LFT, KFT, electrolytes, PT/INR and coagulation profile, HbA1c and fasting blood sugar, Pulmonary function test (spirometry), Upper and lower limb vein/artery mapping (Doppler). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $10,000 – $12,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~9 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 26 days
Bypass is performed through a smaller incision on the side of the chest, avoiding full breastbone reopening, often combined with stenting of other vessels in the same or a staged procedure.
Estimated cost: ~$1,500 – $2,500
Typical tests for this variant: Coronary angiography (graft and native vessel assessment), CT scan of the chest (sternal re-entry and incision planning), HRCT chest (lung deflation tolerance assessment), 2D Echocardiography, Carotid Doppler ultrasound, CBC, LFT, KFT, electrolytes, PT/INR and coagulation profile, HbA1c and fasting blood sugar, Pulmonary function test (spirometry), Upper and lower limb vein/artery mapping (Doppler). Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $11,000 – $13,000
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3 days
Hospitalisation: ~8 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~14 days recommended
Total stay: approx 25 days
