| Cardiac transplantation has become a viable treatment option for patients with end stage cardiac disease. The USC cardiopulmonary transplant team is headed by Vaughn A. Starnes, M.D., a world-recognized leader and innovator in heart, heart-lung, and lung transplantation, and cardiothoracic surgery. The remainder of the team is composed of experts in their respective fields of cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, pulmonary medicine, immunology, critical care medicine, cystic fibrosis, immunosuppression, and rehabilitation. We truly believe the clinical expertise and technological sophistication of this cross-disciplinary team is paralleled in very few places around the globe. The cardiac transplant program is available around the clock, 365 days a year. |
