Coronary artery bypass grafting

Public tariffs, separately identified private published prices and public waiting times for coronary artery bypass grafting, drawn from government schedules, hospital price publications and waiting-time registries (cutoff: 2026-10-15).

What a complete procedure typically includes

Our reference definition covers: surgeon, anaesthesia, operating theatre, routine ICU, hospital stay. It excludes: valve surgery, complications, rehabilitation. Note: Government tariff codes below follow each country’s own billing rules and may exclude implants, doctor fees, or follow-up care—check each country card for what is included.

How to read these numbers in 10 seconds:Official benchmarks with unverified episode equivalence do not establish the cost of the complete procedure. Historical periods do not describe current appointment availability.
