Our multidisciplinary team approach, experience, expertise, and ongoing commitment to innovation and compassionate care has set the standard of care for children with end-stage heart failure achieving excellent long term survival rates. In a July 2011 report, The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients has measured the percentage of patients who have survived transplant for 1 month, 1 year and 3 years. At our center, of the 20 patients transplanted between January 1, 2008, and June 30, 2010, 100% survived 1 month and 90% survived 1 year. Of the 13 patients transplanted between July 1, 2005, and December 31, 2007, 92% survived 3 years. We exceed the exxpected survival rates and the national survival rates in each category.
