Lung & Heart-Lung Transplant Program

Welcome to Nationwide Children's Hospital's Lung & Heart-Lung Transplant Program

Under the direction of the Program Medical Director, Dr. Todd Astor, and the Program Surgical Director, Dr. Mark Galantowicz, the Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program at Nationwide Children's Hospital received its UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing) accreditation in the spring of 2005.

The Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program is part of a multi-organ transplant center at Nationwide Children's Hospital. The transplant programs utilize a multidisciplinary team of experts in the transplantation of children and adults with childhood diseases. Our patients are able to see all of their physicians and health care team members in one visit and at one location. Our team of experts provides comprehensive support for our patients and their families, while maintaining a collaborative relationship with the referring physician.

The Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program is part of an advanced lung disease center consisting of programs for Cystic Fibrosis, pulmonary vascular disease, interstitial lung disease, and neonatal lung disease. Our transplant team also works in conjunction with our renowned Heart Center, offering combined heart-lung transplantation to patients with advanced cardiopulmonary disease.
