How Much Does Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting Cost in Republic of Korea in AUD?

Carotid angioplasty and stenting in the Republic of Korea typically costs from AUD $13,500 to AUD $20,700. Final prices depend on the choice of stent, facility tier, and whether neurovascular intervention is required. In Australia, the average cost is AUD $30,600, meaning patients can save approximately 44% by travelling. Standard inclusions often cover the procedure, specialist fees, and hospital stays in major medical hubs like Incheon and Goyang.

  • Neurovascular intervention: Typically adds 15–25% to the base cost for complex artery navigation.
  • Specialised stent types: Advanced embolic protection devices or dual-layer stents may increase the price.
  • Hospital tier: Prices in Seoul-adjacent hubs like Incheon are often 10–15% more affordable than central Seoul.
  • Facility stays: Extended monitoring in specialized cardiovascular wards adds to the daily hospital rate.

Bookimed Expert Insight: Choosing Korea offers access to incredible expertise for a lower price. Specialists like Dr Ahn Taehun and Dr Oh Dongju have led national societies for cardiovascular intervention. Many clinics are located in Incheon, which is very convenient for international arrivals. Larger centres like Myongji Hospital treat 600,000 patients annually. This high volume often results in more efficient care and better-value clinical outcomes.
