Since performing the first pediatric heart transplant in 1982, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh's heart and lung transplant program has grown.
We're one of the most active pediatric transplant centers in the world. To date, the Heart Institute at UPMC Children's Hospital has helped more than 400 children in need of heart and lung transplants.
Our goal is to restore the health of children suffering from heart and lung diseases, such as:
- Congenital heart disease
- Cardiomyopathy
- Cystic fibrosis
- Pulmonary hypertension
