Heart Transplant 

For patients with heart failure that has not responded to other treatments, Baylor Annette C. and Harold C. Simmons Transplant Institute provides an extensive evaluation to determine if transplant is the best treatment option.

Baylor's broad experience in transplanting patients extends to those patients who require multi-organ transplantation, such as heart-liver, heart-kidney and heart-lung.

Baylor also offers advanced treatment options for patients who are not viable candidates for transplant or who are on a transplant waiting list long-term. In fact, the Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) Program for heart failure patients was the first in the country to receive the Gold Seal of Approval™ from The Joint Commission.

Comprehensive Evaluation, Education and Care

Our transplant team and Heart Failure Program staff are here to assist with everything from emotional support and housing solutions to long-term follow-up care and access to clinical trials. The Heart Failure Program monitors medications, coordinates care and assesses each patient on an individual basis to determine the best course of treatment.

For more information or to self-refer to the transplant program, please call 214.820.6856.
