Transplant Anesthesia

The Section of Transplant Anesthesia provides specialized care for patients undergoing solid organ transplantation. Our liver transplant team coordinates care for complex multi-organ transplants and living donor procedures, starting in the evaluation in listing phase and extending throughout the perioperative period. The section provides support to streamline and optimize care for kidney, and pancreas transplants. Faculty in this section manage the significant physiologic and hemodynamic challenges unique to transplant surgery throughout the perioperative period, drawing on expertise that supports one of the nation's most active and historic transplant programs, home to the first human organ transplant and the first successful heart-liver-kidney transplant. Faculty help train residents and fellows and are active in multiple specialty societies.
