Heart Transplants

For the treatment of end-stage heart disease, Medical City has a dedicated advanced practice nurse and state-of-the-art technologies, as well as research opportunities. The heart transplant program at Medical City provides support for both adults and pediatric patients suffering from cardiac disease.

Medical City performs more heart transplants each year than any other facility in North Texas. The program utilizes numerous artificial heart assist devices, allowing patients to stay at home while waiting for a donor heart. When it’s time to perform the transplant, our physicians have access to the latest technology and a team of nurses and staff dedicated to transplant procedures. Our team takes pride in using a multidisciplinary approach to heart failure management and transplantation.

Cardiologists, surgeons, transplant physicians, transplant coordinators and social workers are trained in the recognition and management of the unique problems of patients with congenital heart disease and congestive heart failure. The center has achieved patient and graft survival rates that well exceed the national average.
