At Ochsner Hospital for Children, our heart transplantation team’s goal is to allow kids to live a normal life safely as possible after a heart transplant. Children have many different reasons why they may need a heart transplant. It can be due to being born with an abnormal heart muscle, congenital heart disease that cannot be improved by surgery, or a virus that infects the heart muscle and makes it weak.
Ochsner Health is a system that delivers health to the people of Louisiana, Mississippi and the Gulf South with a mission to Serve, Heal, Lead, Educate and Innovate.
