Transplant services at Mayo Clinic

Considering a transplant can bring questions about eligibility, timing, travel, and what comes next. Mayo Clinic can help you understand whether transplant may be an option for you and what a transplant evaluation may involve. You do not need to know which transplant program or specialist to choose before you start. Mayo Clinic can review your needs and connect you with the right transplant team.

Transplant expertise and outcomes

Mayo Clinic is the largest integrated transplant center in the United States. Transplant teams in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota perform about 2,500 solid organ and bone marrow transplants each year. The transplant program includes more than 150 surgeons and physicians, along with hundreds of specially trained allied health professionals.

Experience across transplant types

Mayo Clinic has dedicated transplant programs for bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, lung and pancreas. It also offers living-donor and pediatric transplant programs, as well as specialized programs for face, hand, larynx and trachea transplants. This breadth helps teams evaluate complex situations and recommend care based on each patient’s needs.

Outcomes and coordinated review

Mayo Clinic transplant success rates meet or exceed national averages, and the program is known for how quickly patients receive a transplant, as well as organ acceptance and patient survival. Teams across Mayo Clinic campuses review complex cases together so patients can benefit from coordinated expertise.

Transplant evaluation and planning

Transplant evaluation helps determine whether a transplant is appropriate and what approach may be safest and most effective. Mayo Clinic transplant teams review your health, transplant options and other factors to establish eligibility and develop a personalized plan. Care teams coordinate evaluation and planning.

Dedicated transplant nurse coordinator support

During transplant evaluation, you are paired with a dedicated transplant nurse coordinator who helps answer questions and guides you through the process before and after surgery. Your coordinator can also connect you with other team members as needed, including experts in nutrition, social work, financial support and spiritual resources.

Follow-up and recovery planning

After transplant, Mayo Clinic monitors your recovery and can coordinate with local doctors when long-term care is needed. You will need to stay near Mayo Clinic for several months after surgery. Your length of stay will depend on the type of transplant and your progress after surgery.

International patient support

Mayo Clinic International Patient Services can help you understand the appointment process, what records or information to prepare, and how your expected length of stay may affect travel and lodging plans.
