ASD Closure is a procedure to seal a hole in the wall between the heart’s upper chambers (atria), which if left untreated, may lead to heart enlargement, arrhythmia, or pulmonary hypertension. It can be done via catheter-based closure (minimally invasive) or open-heart surgery, depending on the size and type of the defect.
- Minimally invasive option available (catheter-based): shorter hospital stay and recovery time.
- Prevents long-term heart complications like right heart enlargement and arrhythmia.
- Improved quality of life and exercise tolerance, especially in children and young adults.
- Not all defects are suitable for device closure—large or complex ASDs may need open-heart surgery.
- Potential for complications like device dislodgement, arrhythmias, or residual shunting.
- Requires lifelong follow-up to monitor heart function and device integrity.
Description | Estimated Cost in USD | Approx. Cost in KES (🇰🇪) |
Catheter-based ASD Closure | $5,000 – $8,000 | KES 650,000 – 1,040,000 |
Open-heart ASD Surgery | $6,000 – $9,000 | KES 780,000 – 1,170,000 |
Prices vary by hospital (Apollo, Fortis, Medanta, etc.), patient condition, and post-op stay.
VSD Repair is a surgical or catheter-based procedure to close a hole in the wall (septum) between the heart’s two lower chambers (ventricles). This hole causes oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood to mix, which can strain the heart and lungs if left untreated.
- Prevents complications like heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, and poor growth in children.
- Restores normal blood flow, improving oxygen delivery to the body.
- Improves long-term survival and quality of life, especially when done early.
- Open-heart surgery may be required for large or complex VSDs.
- Risk of complications such as arrhythmias, bleeding, or infection.
- Some cases may need follow-up procedures if residual defects remain.
Description | Estimated Cost in USD | Approx. Cost in KES 🇰🇪 |
Catheter-based VSD Closure | $6,000 – $9,000 | KES 780,000 – 1,170,000 |
Open-heart VSD Surgery | $7,000 – $10,000 | KES 910,000 – 1,300,000 |
Cost may vary based on hospital, device used (if any), patient’s age, and recovery time.
TOF Repair is a corrective open-heart surgery for a congenital heart defect made up of four abnormalities in the heart structure. The surgery aims to improve blood flow to the lungs and ensure proper oxygenation of blood.
- Life-saving correction for children born with TOF — improves survival and development.
- Significant improvement in oxygen levels, reducing cyanosis (blue skin).
- Long-term results allow most children to lead normal, active lives.
- Major open-heart surgery with associated risks (bleeding, infection, arrhythmias).
- Lifelong follow-up needed; some patients may need further surgeries or valve replacements later.
- Residual defects like pulmonary valve leakage or right ventricular enlargement may persist.

TOF Surgical Repair | $8,000 – $12,000 | KES 1,040,000 – 1,560,000 |
Costs may vary by hospital, patient age, ICU stay, and pre-op condition.
