Is Apollo safe for complex heart surgery, and what are the success rates?

Apollo has performed over 200,000 cardiac surgeries with a confirmed 95% success rate across complex procedures and 90%+ for heart transplants.

Newsweek ranked Apollo among the World's Best Hospitals for cardiology in 2024, 2025, and 2026.

8 Apollo hospitals hold JCI accreditation.

Over 99.6% of bypass surgeries are off pump, reducing complications significantly for patients with diabetes, kidney disease, or lung conditions.

What does heart surgery cost for international patients at Apollo?
Costs vary by procedure, complexity, hospital stay, and individual clinical needs. CABG, TAVR, valve replacement, heart transplant, and angioplasty each have different cost structures. Treatment in India is significantly lower than in the USA, UK, Germany, or the Gulf, with equivalent technology and accreditation. Share your cardiac reports with My 1Health for a written cost estimate before any travel decision.
What makes Apollo different from other cardiac hospitals in India?

Apollo is the only cardiac network in India ranked by Newsweek for cardiology three consecutive years (2024 to 2026).

The network spans 38 cardiac facilities and 50+ catheterisation laboratories. Apollo Information Centres in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia provide local liaison before and after treatment.
