Adult Heart transplant
Inova cardiac surgeons performed the region’s first successful heart transplant in 1986. Today we remain the most active transplant program in the Washington, D.C., area.
A heart transplant is often a patient’s last — and only— lifesaving option. The previous decade’s development of new immunosuppressive drugs and improved surgical techniques has made heart transplantation a widely accepted therapy for patients with end-stage heart disease.
We hold helpful educational sessions and support groups before and after transplant surgery and can answer all the questions you might have about the transplant program.
