Vanderbilt Transplant

Outcomes for patients receiving a heart transplant at Vanderbilt University Medical Center exceed nationally established benchmarks.  One of a very few centers in the country to achieve this distinction, we've earned recognition as a center of excellence and distinction by many healthcare organizations.  As the largest heart transplant program in Tennessee, we have the experience and resources to provide the most advanced care to patients suffering from heart failure.

At the same time, we recognize that heart transplantation produces unique challenges that go far beyond the operation itself.  We are committed to providing each patient with compassionate, personalized care in a supportive setting.  Our dedicated team will work in conjunction with patients and referring physicians to ensure recipients go on to live full lives.  For some this means returning to work, for others, raising a family. 

We appreciate your interest in our program.  Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information. 

Sincerely,

Simon Maltais, MD, PhD Surgical Director	Mark Wigger, MD Medical Director
