Transplant Center

The Pediatric Transplant Center (PTC) at Children’s Hospital Boston is one of the most advanced pediatric transplant centers in the country, distinguished by our combination of program breadth, clinical depth and multidisciplinary approach. In our programs for heart, lung, liver, intestine, kidney and stem cell transplants, our physicians, nurses and staff of specialized supporting clinicians work together to give your child the best possible care.

We do what’s possible to avoid a transplant.

Our team is at the forefront of treatments and technologies that enable many children to avoid transplant or to extend the time before needing one. From a novel bowel-lengthening procedure to one of today’s most advanced ventricular assist devices (supporting blood circulation), we’ve got the means and experience to keep pre-transplant kids away from the operating room longer.

Research-rich environment

Our Transplantation Research Center (TRC) provides an environment for scientists and physicians to collaborate in matters related to transplantation and immunology. The TRC is intended to share new knowledge, and to speed results gained from research into innovative and improved approaches to caring for kids who need transplant.
