I assume that the lesion is Simple TOF with AV canal defect with normal pulmonary artery anatomy

Amrita Institute of Medical sciences - { Cochin} - Rs- 1.5- 1.75 Lacs
Narayana Hrudralaya { Bangalore } 1.5 lacs
Frontier Life line { Chennai } 1.75- 2 Lacs
Escorts { Delhi} 3 lacs
Asain Heart { Mumbai } 3- 3.25 lacs
Sion Hospital { Mumbai Municipal } 60,000- 75,000

The Cadiac Surgeons and Cardiologists need to review the 2 D Echo to decide whether single staged or multiple staged repair would be ideal and if other associated anamolies are present.
