Koronare Angioplastie in Heartline Clinics

Heartline Clinics is a private cardiac surgery program in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The clinic focuses on timely access to complex heart treatments for international patients and referring physicians. This single-building facility has two specialized departments designed to bypass long waitlists for surgical care.

Surgical Statistics and Accreditations

The clinic performs 170 cardiac surgeries annually. Patients receive a medical record review from the surgical team within 24–48 hours of case submission. Heartline reports a 100% surgical success rate across all procedures.

All surgeries take place in a private, fully accredited hospital with a full intensive care unit (ICU). The clinic treats many patients from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Cardiac Surgery Specialties

The program covers a broad range of open-heart and catheter-based interventions. Dr. Ricardo José Perelló Bisonó serves as Chief of Cardiac Surgery. He completed his residency at Hospital Felício Rocho in Brazil and has participated in heart transplant programs. His experience includes advanced circulatory support and complex valve reconstruction.

The surgical team performs several key procedures:

• Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) – restoring blood flow using healthy vessel grafts.
• Valve Repair and Replacement – treating mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve disease.
• Aortic Surgery – managing aneurysms and dissections, including total and partial arch replacement.
• Transcatheter Valve Implants (TAVI) – replacing heart valves using minimally invasive catheter techniques.
• Intracardiac Tumor Resection – surgical removal of myxomas and other internal heart masses.

For patients with advanced heart failure, the clinic offers mechanical circulatory support. This includes ECMO and Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implantation. These technologies provide temporary or permanent aid to the heart's pumping function.

The clinic also provides specialized care for specific conditions:

• Surgical management for mitral valve prolapse.
• Valve replacement or repair for aortic valve insufficiency.
• Left atrial appendage closure to reduce stroke risk.

Treatments are confirmed quickly after a direct consultation.

Specialized Medical Technologies

The clinic manages end-stage heart conditions, so it maintains ventricular assist device capabilities. These systems help circulate blood when the heart muscle is too weak. The team also uses ECMO technology for advanced life support during or after complex operations.

International Patient Services

Heartline Clinics runs a concierge workflow for families traveling from abroad. The coordinated care pathway begins before a patient leaves home. Direct communication with the lead surgeon is available for both families and referring physicians.

Services for international patients include:

• Case review and surgical planning within 48 hours
• Coordination of inbound travel and private airport transfers
• Assistance with hotel and local accommodation
• Guided recovery in a private, ocean-side environment
• Outbound journey management with full discharge documentation

The clinic is accessible via direct flights from New York, Miami, Toronto, and Montreal. Patients follow a structured six-step route from initial case submission through post-operative follow-up. This process includes full cost transparency and an all-inclusive plan confirmed before commitment.
