The cost of cardiac stenting varies depending on a number of factors such as region, hospital grade, and patient’s condition, and may range from thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Reperfusion therapy with cardiac stent implantation in patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease or acute myocardial infarction allows for cardiovascular revascularization and restoration of blood supply to ischemic heart muscle cells. Before reimbursement by health insurance, the cost of implanting a single cardiac stent ranges from several thousand dollars to several tens of thousands of dollars, and the price will be increased if there is a combination of other lesions or if more than one cardiac stent needs to be implanted, depending on the condition of the patient. Specific Medicare reimbursement rates vary from place to place and are related to the type of health insurance a person has.
