Two Tijuana hospitals have added advanced technology that lets patients with complex heart, brain and blood vessel problems be treated locally with minimally invasive procedures, without having to travel to other cities.
NewCity Hospital adds a hemodynamics suite
NewCity Hospital has added a hemodynamics suite, a specialized room for catheter-based procedures. It allows doctors to perform heart, brain and vascular interventions, along with pain medicine procedures. The hospital also offers specialized cardiac CT and cardiac MRI studies, Industrial News BC reported on August 31, 2026.
Medical director Gloria Magaly Torres Solórzano said the tools allow minimally invasive treatment of conditions ranging from heart attacks and strokes to vascular disease. The advances were presented at the first NewCity Medical Forum 2026, which offered 10 talks to general practitioners and specialists in cardiology, radiology, internal medicine, neurology and angiology. The hospital’s message, as reported by Infobaja, is that Tijuana now has the equipment and trained doctors to handle these cases without sending patients elsewhere.
Hospital CYNTAR opens an arrhythmia unit
Earlier this year, Hospital CYNTAR opened what it describes as the first cardiac electrophysiology unit in northwestern Mexico, Tijuana en Línea reported on March 18, 2026. The unit uses 3D mapping to locate the faulty electrical signals that cause arrhythmias and treats them with minimally invasive procedures. The hospital reports success rates of up to 98%.
Patients can be referred when symptoms such as palpitations, unusual fatigue, dizziness or shortness of breath are detected by an electrocardiogram, or even flagged by a smartwatch.
Why it matters
Minimally invasive procedures usually mean shorter hospital stays and faster recovery. Having this technology in Tijuana shortens the time to treatment for local patients, which is critical in heart attacks and strokes. It also adds to the city’s offering for cross-border patients.
Resumen en español
NewCity Hospital incorporó una sala de hemodinamia para intervenciones cardiacas, cerebrales y vasculares de mínima invasión, además de tomografía y resonancia magnética cardiaca, presentadas en el primer NewCity Medical Forum 2026. Por su parte, Hospital CYNTAR abrió en marzo la primera unidad de electrofisiología cardiaca del noroeste de México, que usa mapeo tridimensional para tratar arritmias con un éxito de hasta 98%. Con estos avances, Tijuana puede atender casos complejos sin que los pacientes tengan que trasladarse.
