How Much Does Coronary Bypass Surgery (CABG) Cost?
Average cost: $125,000 | Range: $70,000 - $200,000
About This Procedure
Coronary artery bypass grafting creates new routes around blocked heart arteries using blood vessels from other parts of the body, restoring blood flow to the heart.
What Affects the Price?
Each additional bypass graft adds complexity and cost. On-pump (using heart-lung machine) is standard; off-pump may reduce ICU time. Emergency CABG costs significantly more than scheduled. ICU stays at $5,000-$10,000/day are a major cost driver. Cardiac rehabilitation (36 sessions) adds $3,000-$6,000 but improves outcomes.
Key Cost Factors
- Number of bypasses
- On-pump vs off-pump
- ICU days
- Hospital stay length
- Cardiac rehab
- Complications
- Surgeon fees
