Where International Patients Should Go for Heart Surgery & Cardiology in Shanghai

Shanghai's Heart Care Advantage

Shanghai performs some of the highest volumes of complex cardiac procedures in Asia. The city's top hospitals routinely carry out coronary stenting, bypass surgery, valve repair and replacement, congenital heart surgery and minimally invasive (MICS) procedures — at a fraction of the cost in Western countries. A coronary stent procedure in Shanghai typically costs one-fifth to one-third of the US price, with outcomes comparable to international standards.

Tier 1: National cardiac centers

Zhongshan Hospital (Fudan University) — Widely regarded as China's leading cardiovascular center. Its departments of cardiology and cardiac surgery are national key specialties, handling the largest volumes of complex coronary and valve cases, including TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) and minimally invasive mitral repair. The hospital's international medical center supports overseas patients with English coordination and direct-billing assistance. Ruijin Hospital — A top-tier general hospital with outstanding interventional cardiology, arrhythmia (electrophysiology) and complex aortic surgery programs.

Tier 2: International cardiac hospital

DeltaHealth Hospital Shanghai — Shanghai's first international cardiovascular hospital, jointly run by leading Chinese cardiac surgeons. It specializes in minimally invasive cardiac surgery, complex valve repair, aortic surgery and heart failure management, with English-speaking teams and direct billing with international insurers.

Tier 3: Comprehensive hospitals with strong cardiology
