1 According to an American Heart Association report, the average hospital charge for heart bypass surgery -- not including doctor fee -- is $117,094.
A typical open heart surgery takes anywhere from four to eight hours depending on the procedure. This includes preparatory time, time to prepare arteries and veins for coronary bypass grafting, going on the bypass machine, stopping the heart and performing surgery, restarting the heart, coming off the bypass machine, and closing the sternum.
