Aorta surgery ?

[madox66]

I would like to know the average cost of an aortic aneurysm surgery and which hospital to choose in Chonburi province or in Bangkok. Thank you

This seems to be the one most recommended for heart issues w/price consideration:

Queen Sirikit Heart Center of the Northeast

 

No personal experience or price guess.  If you know exactly what you need, could always ring them up (email) and ask them for a ballpark price.

There is no "average price" as there is a 4 - 5 fold difference between public and private hospitals. Also, cost varied depending on whether it is an open repair or an endovascular repair.  Endovascular is safer and recovery quicker,  but only some hospitals can do it and it may cost more.

 

In a private hospital, I would expect cost to  be somewhere around 600-800K but you should email various hospitals to ask specifically. Government hospital about 1/3 as much.

 

In any case should definitely not have this done in Chonburi. Only Bangkok or a University hospital center like the one mentioned in Khon Kaen.

 

I recommend this US trained surgeon

Different hospitals, same doctor. I suggest you email all 2 hospitals for price quote first.

 

This doctor is also at Rajawithi Hospital, a government hospital located near Victory Monument and where I would suggest of you opt for  government hospital route (be prepared for formidible bureacracy and wiats, and needing pergaps a week or more before you are finally face to face wioth cardiovascular surgeon. Take a Thai speaker with you)

 

How large is the aneurysm and have you been advised to have surgery? As not usually required for small asymtomatic aneurysms.
