Hemodinamia del Sur

What Hemodinamia del Sur does

Hemodinamia del Sur is a private interventional cardiology medical service group headquartered in Bahía Blanca, Argentina, founded on December 9, 1978 by Dr. Carlos Álvarez Iorio under the recommendation of Dr. René Favaloro. The group provides diagnostic catheterization and advanced therapeutic procedures — including primary PCI for acute myocardial infarction, complex angioplasty with drug-eluting stents, IVUS-guided interventions, lithotripsy and rotablator atherectomy, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI, with 400+ procedures since 2012), mitral clip and Pascal implantation, mechanical thrombectomy for stroke, mechanical circulatory support (IVAC II), endovascular aortic repair, and renal denervation — across four hospital centers: Hospital Privado del Sur, Hospital Italiano Regional del Sur, and Hospital Regional Español in Bahía Blanca, plus Clínica Privada Hispano Argentina in Tres Arroyos. Procedures are performed on a General Electric IGS 530 advanced imaging platform.

The business operates on a professional-services revenue model, paid per-procedure by obras sociales, prepagas, and public health system contracts, with pricing varying by procedure and payor agreement. A secondary, ancillary revenue stream is Departamentos del Sur, two fully furnished short-term rental apartments in Bahía Blanca for out-of-town patients and their companions during treatment and recovery. The group also runs a Becas de Formación training fellowship that recruits young interventional cardiologists from Argentina and abroad, functioning simultaneously as a talent pipeline and a referral-generation channel. The organization is family-led (Dr. Alejandro Álvarez Iorio as operational lead), privately held with no external institutional ownership, and has accumulated 10,000+ documented interventional cases over more than four decades.
