Cardiac Surgery in Thailand

Thailand's leading cardiac centres are staffed by internationally trained heart surgeons and equipped with the same technology found in top hospitals in the US and Europe. JCI-accredited facilities in Bangkok offer the full spectrum of cardiac procedures, from minimally invasive interventions to complex open-heart surgery, at a fraction of Western costs.

The most established procedure is coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG), which remains one of the most commonly performed cardiac procedures, restoring blood flow to the heart by grafting vessels around blocked arteries. Heart valve replacement addresses damaged or diseased valves using mechanical or biological prosthetics, with both open and minimally invasive approaches available.

For patients who are candidates for less invasive options, angioplasty with stent placement can open narrowed arteries without open surgery. TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) offers a catheter-based alternative to traditional valve surgery for patients who are higher risk for open-heart procedures.

For rhythm disorders, pacemaker implantation treats abnormal heart rhythms, and atrial fibrillation ablation targets the electrical pathways causing irregular heartbeat. All procedures include comprehensive pre-operative assessment, surgery, ICU monitoring, and structured recovery with follow-up care before discharge.
