Pediatric Transplant Center
The Pediatric Transplant Center at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford is a national transplant volume leader with more than 25 years of experience performing more than 1,600 pediatric organ transplants. In fact, data from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) shows that over the past five years we have performed more pediatric organ transplants than any other U.S. center. That is exceptional experience and experience saves lives.
We excel at handling the toughest challenges. We provide high-touch care to high acuity cases for children needing all kinds of transplants, including heart, lung, liver, kidney, intestine and combined transplants.
- Heart: Number 1 for pediatric heart transplant volume in California
- Lung and Heart-Lung: Only pediatric lung transplant program on the U.S. West Coast
- Liver and Intestine: Best 3-year pediatric liver transplant outcomes in the nation
- Kidney: Over the past five years we have performed more pediatric kidney transplants than any other program
