Heart and Lung Transplant Program
Recognized for premier cardiovascular and pulmonary services, UT Southwestern's Heart and Lung Transplant Program is located in the St. Paul Building.
UT Southwestern physicians provide expert medical and pre- and post-surgical management of patients who are awaiting, or who have undergone, heart and/or lung transplantation. More than 300 heart transplants have been performed since the inception of the program in 1988. Survival rates for the first three years after transplantation are among the best in the country.
The lung component of the transplant program began in 1990. Physicians here have been especially successful in offering transplantation to patients with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease resulting in progressive lung destruction. The pulmonary division, with its pulmonary function laboratory, has physicians on staff with experience in managing cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial fibrosis and pulmonary neuromuscular diseases.
