Exceptional Experience
The Children's Hospital of New York has one of the largest and most successful pediatric heart transplant programs in the world. Over four decades of success, many of our heart transplant recipients now have families of their own. The world's first successful heart transplant in a child was performed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in June 1984 on a four-year-old boy with complex congenital heart disease. Since then, more than 650 children in age from less than one year to 24 years old—have received new hearts at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley.
Top pediatric heart transplant center
NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital is ranked as one of the highest-volume pediatric heart transplant centers in the nation, with outcomes exceeding national and local benchmarks, as reported by the Scientific Registry for Transplant Recipients (SRTR).
