Mayo Clinic Transplant Center in Minnesota

Why Choose Mayo Clinic Transplant Center?

Mayo Clinic's Transplant Center offers several advantages for patients who need transplant. As a center that integrates six different types of transplant, Mayo Clinic Transplant Center provides coordinated access to a variety of resources for patients and families. Additionally, our physicians and staff are able to easily coordinate and collaborate with each other, increasing the opportunities for learning and research and increasing the quality of care provided to all patients.

Collaboration

The "Mayo Model" of collaboration among medical specialists is world-renowned, and the Mayo Clinic Transplant Center, which is the home of a diverse group of transplant programs and specialists, is enhanced through a sharing of ideas and resources.

Experience and Expertise

The Mayo Clinic Transplant Center staff is accustomed to caring for patients of all ages from all parts of the world. We offer pretransplant care, medical and surgical management, and transplantation services to provide comprehensive and integrated care to meet any health need.

Because we recognize the needs of special groups of patients, Mayo Clinic has special teams of staff who can help meet the unique needs of some patients. Our pediatric specialists and the staff of Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital offer state-of-the-art care for children in an atmosphere friendly to children and families. And the Mayo Clinic International Medicine physicians and Language Department give us the ability to care for patients from all parts of the world.

Mayo Clinic Transplant Programs also demonstrate success rates equal to or exceeding the national averages. See more information about volumes and statistics for:

Collaboration with Personal Physicians

When the immediate transplant care is completed, we arrange for your own doctors to resume regular care, and we remain in contact with them to coordinate services. If circumstances make it necessary, we can resume care at Mayo until you are ready to return home.

Clinical Research

We offer transplant programs that are built upon cutting-edge research efforts to determine why some patients experience rejection and others do not. At any given time, multiple research protocols are under way at Mayo Clinic, and patients have the option of participating.

Basic Science Research

The Mayo Transplant Center has brought together highly talented researchers who examine fundamental immune responses leading to rejection of transplanted organs.
