Get careful assessment, personalized care, long-term support and the best possible outcome from your heart transplant surgery at The Christ Hospital.
If you have advanced heart failure that isn’t responding to other therapies, your cardiologist may talk to you about heart transplant surgery. When medications and surgical treatments no longer work, you may need a heart transplant.
The long-term survival rates for selected patients with end-stage heart failure who receive a heart transplant are generally very good, especially compared to other treatments. Many patients return to normal activities and a better quality of life.
The Christ Hospital Heart & Vascular Center offers high-quality clinical expertise for those who need a heart transplant. Our care options include:
A heart transplant is a highly specialized, open-heart procedure. It’s only available at hospitals meeting the highest national standards for transplant services, such as The Christ Hospital Heart Transplant Center. Our team has decades of experience in heart transplant care and surgery. We are nationally respected leaders known for our compassionate care and exceptional outcomes.
Highly trained care teams, which include heart transplant surgeons, cardiac rehab specialists, nutrition counselors, social workers, mental health experts and others, guide you through surgery and recover. Our heart and vascular support groups provide an added layer of emotional support and education as you recover and build a healthier life.
We are routinely acknowledged as a leading hospital in the country—and the world—for cardiology and heart surgery. We’ve been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, Modern Healthcare, Newsweek and others.
Through The Christ Hospital Lindner Research Center, our doctors discover new techniques in cardiovascular medicine. For more than two decades, we’ve introduced innovative heart failure treatments to the Tristate long before they’re available elsewhere. It’s how we became known as Greater Cincinnati’s Heart HospitalSM.
