CardiologyHeart bypass surgery in China costs roughly $18,000–$35,000 vs $70,000–$150,000 in the US. Line-item costs, hospital stay, travel and FAQs.
CardiologyWe visited one of China's busiest cardiac surgery centers. Here's what we saw — the technology, the team, and why international patients are choosing it.
Hospital NewsTangdu Hospital's vascular surgery team used a modified endovascular delivery system to repair complex thoracic aortic disease — breaking through anatomical barriers that would have required open chest surgery at most hospitals.
Hospital NewsPUMCH completed a landmark combined procedure — implanting a left ventricular assist device (artificial heart) while simultaneously embolizing a cerebral aneurysm — defusing two life-threatening conditions in a single operation.
Hospital NewsA 35-year-old man developed a life-threatening aortoesophageal fistula after aortic dissection surgery. PUMCH's 7-department team performed two staged operations over 50 days to rebuild his aorta and esophagus — defying a condition with 85%+ mortality.
Hospital NewsPeking Union Medical College Hospital's cardiac surgery team published high-level evidence in JAHA resolving a decades-old clinical dilemma — when to operate on infective endocarditis patients with brain complications.
Hospital NewsWest China Hospital performed China's first combined transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement with balloon-assisted leaflet displacement — solving a problem that would have required risky repeat open-heart surgery.
Hospital NewsPUMCH successfully completed its first transfemoral TAVR procedure for pure severe aortic regurgitation using a next-generation valve — patient recovered in 72 hours without open-heart surgery.
