Cardiology in Vietnam.

This carries the widest cost gap in our table, and it needs the most careful records review before anyone flies.

Cardiac care is not something to arrange in a hurry. If your condition needs intervention within days, be treated where you are. This page is for planned cases — where preparing properly helps, rather than where time is the deciding factor.

We handle the logistics.

The medicine belongs to the surgeon. Everything around it — the part that makes people give up — belongs to us.

  • A cardiologist reads your records before you fly

    Angiography, echocardiogram and current medication translated and sent ahead. If you should not travel, we say so.

  • Facility chosen on capability, not on comfort

    For this specialty the catheterisation lab and the on-call team are the criteria, not the room.

  • Arrangements for someone with you

    Nobody should have a cardiac procedure alone in another country. Accommodation and transfers cover your companion too.

  • A handover your own cardiologist can use

    Discharge summary, medication and follow-up schedule in English, in the format your doctor works from.

The numbers you need to plan.

Procedure time
1–2 hours
Inpatient stay
2–4 days
Days in Vietnam
10–14 days
Cleared to fly
7–14 days, on advice

Who this suits.

  • Patients with a planned intervention and complete records
  • Anyone facing a long wait at home whose condition allows a controlled delay
  • Anyone wanting a second specialist opinion before choosing a treatment path

Reference cost.

Reference bands in Australian dollars, not a Handle quote. Your actual cost is settled once a doctor has read your records.

A trailing plus means the upper figure is where a case starts rather than where it stops. Cost depends on the facility, the materials and your own case.

Common questions.

At minimum: your most recent coronary angiography with the images, an echocardiogram, an ECG, a current medication list with doses, and a clinical summary. If you have had a stent or cardiac surgery before, those records too. We translate and send them ahead so the first appointment discusses a plan rather than gathers information.

Send your records, get a treatment plan within 48 hours.

Free, and no obligation. You get a named surgeon, an expected schedule and a cost band for your case.
