Our surgeons have created a program known for a heart transplant, which is the largest in Illinois and the second largest in the Middle Zapade.Klyuchevoy element of our success is our patient waiting lists transplantation than the national average. Although the most recent national data show that patients wait an average of eight months for a transplant, 50 percent of our patients receive the transplant in about a month. In addition, physicians and surgeons in our program were first managed at the same time, heart transplants, liver and kidneys and have extensive experience in multiple organ transplants. In February 2006, led by Wicki Vigneswaran, MD, we have expanded our thoracic surgery and transplantation programs include both lung and lung / heart transplant. These additions, together with our practice, thoracic surgery, will allow us to serve more patients with lung disease.
