Stanford Success Keeps Heart Transplants Alive At Stanford
Stanford University Medical Center continues to perform human heart transplants at a steady pace, about once a month, with encouraging survival rates. The center has given new hearts to 50 patients in four and a half years, and 18 of the world’s 28 recipients are Stanford patients. Surgery selection focuses on mid 50s or younger patients, and reports show one year survival improving from 22 percent to about 50 percent.
