Our Heart-Lung Transplant Care Team

Our transplant team specializes in complicated cases, such as children with severe congenital heart disease or pulmonary hypertension, a condition in which the pulmonary arteries supplying blood to the lungs have been damaged irreversibly by high pressure. The collaboration of our surgical experts and multidisciplinary care teams ensures that the patient and family receive the most advanced care available.
