Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Our support team is here to guide you through each step of your treatment journey with personal care and attention.Can I send my heart scans and reports for review before travelling to London?
Yes, and most international patients do this before committing to travel. The international patient team forwards your echocardiogram reports, angiogram results, cardiac scans, and surgical history to the relevant consultant. A written treatment plan and cost estimate are provided before you book any travel. Virtual consultations are available with your cardiac specialist.
How do I contact the international patient support team for heart surgery in London?
The international patient team handles all cardiac appointments, scan reviews, and travel coordination for patients outside the UK. Reach them through WhatsApp +447481338875, Telephone +447481338875, or Email [email protected].
How do I know if I am a candidate for minimally invasive heart surgery rather than open surgery?
Suitability is determined by your anatomy, diagnosis, and disease severity, and cannot be confirmed without reviewing your imaging. At this hospital: minimally invasive valve repair suits mitral and aortic conditions where anatomy permits; robotic assisted bypass (MIDCAB) suits specific coronary artery blockages; off pump surgery is recommended for patients with kidney, lung, or liver failure; complex combined conditions may still require open surgery. Submitting your scans to the international patient team before travel is the fastest way to get a specific recommendation.
How long do I need to stay in London for heart surgery?
Length of stay depends on the procedure. As a guide: robotic or minimally invasive valve or bypass surgery 2 to 5 nights; open heart surgery (CABG, aortic repair, complex valve) 5 to 10 nights, plus 1 to 2 weeks nearby before flying; electrophysiology (ablation, pacemaker) 1 to 3 nights. The international patient team arranges accommodation near the hospital at no cost to you, with options to suit different budgets, including a room for a companion or caregiver. Remote follow up is coordinated before discharge.
How much does private heart surgery cost at Cleveland Clinic London for international patients?
The cost depends on the procedure and complexity; a written estimate is provided after your reports are reviewed. As a guide: Cardiac MRI from GBP 1,940 (without contrast) to GBP 2,738 (with contrast); CT coronary angiogram from GBP 1,542; surgical procedures (valve repair, bypass, aortic surgery) vary, with an estimate provided after clinical review. International health insurance is accepted. Self pay and instalment plans are also available. The international patient team confirms your coverage before you travel.
Is Cleveland Clinic London's cardiac programme connected to the main Cleveland Clinic in the United States?
Yes. Cleveland Clinic London is part of the same global health system as Cleveland Clinic Ohio, ranked No.1 heart hospital in the United States for 30 consecutive years by U.S. News and World Report. Consultants in London follow the same clinical standards, share research programmes, and access multidisciplinary input from the global network.
What makes this cardiac programme different from other private hospitals in London?
Several verifiable differences stand out: 1 of very few UK private hospitals with surgeons trained to perform full thoracoabdominal aortic repair; first private hospital in the UK to offer laser lead extraction for pacemaker and defibrillator wires; first UK surgeon to perform transapical TAVI trained through the Cleveland Clinic system; 29 bed ICU recognised as a Centre of Excellence in Critical Care; 99.3% positive outcome rate after open heart surgery, reported to NICOR 2024; pulsed field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation, available at very few UK private hospitals.
