A Cardiac & Vascular Surgeon is a super-specialist who operates on the heart and blood vessels — a different role from a cardiologist, who manages heart disease with medicines and procedures but does not perform open surgery. In Bangladesh, patients are usually referred to one after a cardiologist's tests (ECG, echocardiogram, angiogram) show a problem that needs an operation. Common reasons include blocked coronary arteries needing bypass surgery (CABG), heart valves damaged by rheumatic fever, holes in the heart (ASD/VSD), varicose veins, poor blood flow to the legs, diabetic foot and limb-saving surgery, aneurysms, and creating dialysis fistulas for kidney patients. Most are trained at major centres such as NICVD, the National Heart Foundation, Ibrahim Cardiac or BSMMU and hold an MS or FCPS in cardiac/vascular surgery. In a consultation, the surgeon reviews your reports and scans, examines you, explains whether surgery is genuinely needed, discusses the risks, recovery time and likely cost, and arranges pre-operative tests. See one when a cardiologist advises surgery, or for chest pain, breathlessness, leg pain on walking, swollen leg veins or a non-healing foot wound.
See a Cardiac & Vascular Surgeon when a cardiologist advises an operation after tests like an angiogram or echocardiogram, or if you have chest pain, severe breathlessness, leg pain on walking, prominent varicose veins, or a non-healing foot wound. They are the specialist who actually performs surgery on the heart and blood vessels.
In Dhaka, a first consultation with a Cardiac & Vascular Surgeon typically costs around BDT 800 to 2,000, with follow-up visits usually lower (often BDT 500 to 1,000). Senior professors and well-known surgeons at major cardiac hospitals in Dhaka and Chattogram may charge BDT 2,000 to 3,000. Remember the consultation fee is separate from tests (angiogram, echo) and the cost of any surgery itself, which is far higher. Always confirm the current fee with the chamber when you book.
You can book by calling the surgeon's chamber or hospital directly, or through an online directory like this one. Most cardiac surgeons see patients on referral, so bring all your existing reports — ECG, echocardiogram, angiogram films, blood tests and a list of your current medicines. At the visit the surgeon reviews these, examines you, explains whether surgery is truly needed, and discusses the risks, recovery and approximate cost. If surgery is planned, they will order pre-operative tests and give you a date.
There is no single "best" surgeon for everyone — the right choice depends on your exact condition (for example bypass, valve replacement or a vascular problem) and which hospital you can reach. A good approach is to look at the surgeon's qualifications (MS or FCPS in cardiac/vascular surgery), years of experience, the hospital they operate at and their patient volume. The directory listing for Dhaka lets you compare experienced surgeons, their fees and chambers side by side so you can choose the one that best fits your case.
Yes, for some situations. Many surgeons in Dhaka now offer phone or video consultations, which are useful for reviewing reports, getting a second opinion on whether surgery is needed, or for follow-up after an operation. However, a final surgical decision and the operation itself always require an in-person visit and physical examination. Telemedicine is a convenient first step, especially if you live far from a major cardiac centre, but plan to see the surgeon in person before any procedure.
