The Heart Transplant Program has ranked among the nation’s top ten programs by volume for the last three years, consistently achieving excellent long-term survival rates that match or exceed national benchmarks. Furthermore, patients spend less time waiting for a heart transplant in New Jersey than candidates elsewhere in the country.

Our experience has made us a principle site for numerous investigational trials that offer patients the benefit of the next generation of mechanical assist devices as a bridge to transplant or destination therapy. It is the only center in New Jersey chosen to participate in the HeartMate II, Jarvik 2000 and VentrAssist trials.

As an extension of the adult program, the pediatric heart transplant service benefits from two decades of experience, research and
expertise that make Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s adult heart transplant program among the finest in the nation.

State-of-the-art cardiac imaging capabilities provide our cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons with highly detailed 3-D images for precise diagnosis and treatment planning.
