Survival rates for heart transplant patients are tracked nationally by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Patients.

This data does not reflect how sick the patient was at the time of transplant. Patients who come to University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital for heart transplant often are high-risk, very ill patients. Because of this, they may have be unable to get a heart transplant at another center.  

 
* This data reflects a time period when only 1 pediatric heart transplant was performed at University of Minnesota Amplatz Hospital.
