The cost of transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery includes the bioprosthesis, delivery system, surgery, anesthesia, hospitalization, and testing. Because the bioprosthetic valve is compressed within the delivery system, it is more demanding and expensive, accounting for a larger percentage of the cost of the procedure. The cost of a domestic valve is approximately$200,000-$300,000, and when other costs are added, the overall cost of the procedure is approximately$300,000-$350,000. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of biologic valve manufacturers, the cost of surgery may decrease to some extent. Currently, the cost of the valve is not covered by medical insurance.
