The cost of heart valve replacement in South Korea typically ranges from $46,200 to $60,000. Prices vary depending on the type of valve (mechanical or bioprosthetic), the hospital, the surgeon’s experience, and whether the procedure is minimally invasive or open surgery. In the United States, the average cost is $200,000 (per AHA). This means heart valve replacement in South Korea is about 73% less expensive than in the U.S.
South Korean hospitals usually include pre-op tests, surgery, anesthesia, the heart valve prosthesis, ICU care, medications, and follow-up visits in their packages. In the U.S., the price often covers only the procedure itself, with separate bills for the prosthesis, anesthesia, ICU, and aftercare. Always confirm exactly what’s included with each hospital before booking.
