Coronary stent in Singapore: what it costs and how it compares with waiting at home

Prices checked 27 October 2026 (Taipei time)

Short answer

Singapore providers publish coronary stent procedures only inside bundles with other tests, so we show them but leave Singapore out of the price comparison.

Every row is a price the provider publishes itself, read on the date shown. We copy what the price includes and what it leaves out; where the provider does not say, the row says “not stated”. We do not use prices from brokers or medical-travel agencies.

Hospitals in Singapore that offer a coronary angioplasty with a stent to international patients

Each runs its own service for patients from abroad. The booking time on each card is the hospital's own words; where it publishes none, ask for a date in writing before you book flights.

Compared with waiting or paying at home

The official waiting figure and the self-pay price in each home country, next to the Singapore price converted to that currency. The Singapore figure does not include flights, a hotel or time off work.

How it works for a visitor

  1. Ask for a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for the coronary angioplasty with a stent and ask for an itemised price, the date, and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
  2. Before you goSend your latest ECG, echocardiogram, any stress test or CT angiogram, and your medicine list; ask a cardiologist there to confirm in writing that a stent is the likely plan.
  3. Before you goGet a written quote that says how many stents are included and the price of each extra one.
  4. Before you goCheck your travel insurance covers a planned procedure abroad.
  5. LanguageEnglish is an official language and the working language of hospitals.
  6. Entry rulesCheck the official advice for your passport before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements), Canadian citizens (travel.gc.ca), US citizens (State Department, choose the country), Irish citizens (DFA travel advice, choose the country).
  7. After you returnKeep taking the blood-thinning medicines exactly as prescribed; stopping them early can block the stent.
  8. After you returnBring the procedure report and the stent details (type and size) to your doctor at home.

Can your public system pay for it?

NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Singapore. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Singapore is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.

When not to travel for a coronary angioplasty with a stent

  • Chest pain at rest, pain that is getting worse, or a heart attack: that is an emergency at home.
  • Anyone who cannot take blood-thinning medicines for the months after a stent.

How to compare coronary angioplasty with a stent quotes

Coronary angioplasty (PCI) opens a narrowed heart artery from the inside: a thin tube goes in through the wrist or groin, a balloon widens the artery and a small metal mesh tube (a stent) keeps it open. It is usually done under local anaesthetic, often straight after an angiogram that shows where the narrowing is.

  • Check how many stents the price includes and what type (most are drug-eluting); each extra stent usually adds to the bill.
  • Ask whether the angiogram, the hospital nights and the medicines you take home are in the price.
  • Ask what happens if the angiogram shows you need bypass surgery instead.

Coronary stent in Singapore: questions

How much does a coronary angioplasty with a stent cost in Singapore?

National University Hospital publishes only bundles that include other tests, so there is no price for a coronary angioplasty with a stent on its own that compares with other countries.

Is a coronary angioplasty with a stent in Singapore cheaper than paying privately in the UK?

We do not have both a UK price and a comparable Singapore price for this, so we cannot say. Compare the published prices on this page with a written quote from a UK provider.

Will the NHS or HSE pay for a coronary angioplasty with a stent in Singapore?

No. The NHS S2 route and the HSE schemes cover planned treatment in Europe only. Singapore is outside them, so you pay yourself or through a private insurer that agrees in advance.

How many days should I plan in Singapore?

Often 1 to 2 nights in hospital, then a few days nearby before you fly. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice: the clinic sets the schedule, and you should ask it for one in writing.

What should I check before booking a coronary angioplasty with a stent in Singapore?

Check how many stents the price includes and what type (most are drug-eluting); each extra stent usually adds to the bill. Ask whether the angiogram, the hospital nights and the medicines you take home are in the price.
