Transplant Program
Heart transplants are available for end-stage cardiac failure refractory to medical therapy. Lung transplants are available for pulmonary disease that can no longer be treated adequately by traditional means. Heart-lung transplant is available in situations where long standing un-repairable heart disease has damaged the lungs to the point that a heart transplant alone would not succeed. All thoracic transplant programs are certified by the United Network for Organ Sharing, approved by the Ohio Department of Health and Human Services, and accepted into the Ohio Solid Organ Transplant Consortium.
In conjunction with The Ohio State University Abdominal Organ Transplant Program, Nationwide Children’s Hospital performs living-related and cadaveric renal transplant for infants, children and adolescents.
The Blood and Marrow Transplantation (BMT) program provides care for children with cancer, inherited immuno-deficiencies, blood disorders and metabolic/genetic diseases.
