Heart Valve Replacement in Heartline Clinics
About the clinic
Heart valve replacement at Heartline Clinics in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, provides a high-safety option for patients requiring cardiac repair. The clinic reports a 100% surgical success rate across all procedures performed to date. Patients can avoid long waitlists, with surgery typically confirmed within days rather than months.
Advanced Valve Treatment Methods
The surgical team treats mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves using both traditional and modern techniques. Surgeons perform standard open-heart surgery for complex repairs. For patients seeking less invasive options, the clinic offers Transcatheter Valve Implants (TAVI). This method allows for valve replacement without a large chest incision. The choice of technique depends on an individual case review by the surgical team. This review happens quickly, often within 48 hours of submitting medical records.
Accredited Hospital Care
Heartline Clinics operates within a fully accredited private hospital facility. The center includes a dedicated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to manage the immediate recovery phase. Patients receive direct consultations with their surgeon before the operation begins. This direct communication helps the medical team plan each step of the procedure. Referring physicians can also speak directly with the surgeons in Santo Domingo to coordinate ongoing care.
All-Inclusive Recovery Services
The clinic manages the entire medical journey through a concierge-style service. This coordinated care includes several support features for international patients:
- Airport transfers to and from the hospital
- Coordinated travel and local accommodation
- Interpreter services to help with communication
- Full discharge documentation for your home doctors
After the surgery, patients spend their recovery period in a private setting in the Dominican Republic. The medical team monitors progress until the patient is ready for travel. You can request a consultation to learn more about heart valve options at this clinic by leaving a request on Bookimed.

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.
