Description: EECP (Enhanced External Counterpulsation) therapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive heart treatment for patients suffering from chronic stable angina, heart failure, or poor coronary circulation. The treatment uses external inflatable cuffs on the legs to enhance blood flow to the heart and stimulate the growth of collateral vessels. EECP is often recommended as an alternative to bypass surgery or angioplasty for select patients.
Estimated EECP Treatment Cost in India: ₹105,000 to ₹160,000 for a full course (typically 35 sessions). Costs may vary by location, clinic, and physician expertise.
Description: Coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) is a major heart operation used to treat severe coronary artery disease. In this procedure, blocked arteries are bypassed using grafts taken from other parts of the body. It is typically recommended for patients with multiple blockages or when angioplasty is not suitable. Recovery takes several weeks, and the procedure is done under general anesthesia.
Estimated Bypass Surgery Cost in India: ₹300,000 to ₹800,000 or more, depending on the hospital, surgeon’s experience, number of grafts, and post-operative care required.
Description: Angioplasty (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention or PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to open blocked or narrowed coronary arteries. A balloon-tipped catheter is inserted to expand the artery, often followed by the placement of a drug-eluting stent to maintain blood flow. Angioplasty is commonly used to treat heart attacks and reduce symptoms of coronary artery disease.
Estimated Angioplasty Cost in India: ₹200,000 to ₹400,000 or more. The price may vary based on the type of stent (bare-metal vs. drug-eluting), number of stents required, and hospital infrastructure.
EECP THERAPY uses a proprietary technology to inflate and deflate a series of pneumatic cuffs enclosing the lower extremities of the patients. Treatment is administered on a padded table in which three sets of electronically controlled inflation and deflation valves are located.
