How much does a cerebrovascular stent cost

The cost of cerebrovascular stents is related to the stent material, the blood vessel to be stented, and the hospital’s own fee schedule, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. The cost of stents made of titanium alloy material and stainless steel material is about 7,000 to 8,000, but these stents are easy to form blood clots and have a higher rate of re-stenosis after use; the cost of laminating stents or biomaterials stents is about 15,000 to 20,000, which are less prone to form blood clots and have a lower rate of re-stenosis. If the stenosis is in the external carotid artery, a protective umbrella is needed before stenting, at which point the cost is about $50,000 to $60,000; intracranial stenting is usually done with a specialized stent, and the cost is about $40,000 to $50,000. If cerebrovascular stenting is determined to be done, patients should actively cooperate with the preoperative preparations, and after the operation, follow the doctor’s instructions to improve the prognosis and regular review.
