Treatment options for mitral valve prolapse
The clinic provides two primary surgical methods to address valve dysfunction. The choice of procedure depends on the condition of the heart tissue and the severity of the prolapse.
- Mitral valve repair. This open-heart surgery uses specialized techniques to restore the natural function of the valve. It helps preserve the native valve and helps patients avoid lifelong use of blood-thinning medication.
- Mitral valve replacement. This procedure costs around $60,000. The surgeon removes the damaged valve and implants a prosthetic one. It serves as a definitive treatment for severe valve disease.
Patient services and recovery
International patients receive help from an English-speaking team throughout their stay. The clinic provides a concierge service to manage travel and logistics. Patients recover in an ocean-side environment designed to provide a calm setting after surgery.
- Hospital stay. The surgical fee includes the operation and the time spent in the hospital ward.

Heartline Clinics: more details about the clinic
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.
