Shorter Times to Liver Transplantation and Exceptional Outcomes
If your child needs a liver transplant, you want a highly trained, experienced transplant team to be by your side every step of the way—from evaluation to surgery to long-term follow-up. That’s what you’ll find at Cincinnati Children’s, home to one of the largest pediatric liver transplant centers in the United States. Since 1988, we have performed more than 850 liver transplants, including multi-organ transplants. And over the last 10 years, our team has performed more liver transplants for patients with liver tumors than any other hospital in the country.
Our experts offer innovative, state-of-the-art care for patients with the most complex medical needs and support for families before, during and after transplant. The center’s outcomes—how patients do after being placed on the waiting list—are exceptional. We care for many of the most complex patients and conditions, and Cincinnati Children’s 1-year, 3-year, and liver transplant waitlist survival rates consistently exceed the national averages for transplant centers.
As leaders in pediatric liver transplantation for many of the most complex conditions, our program has performed dual organ transplants since 1991, and today we care for patients receiving liver-heart, liver-intestine, and liver-kidney transplants.
