Transplant Center

The Nebraska Medical Center offers a wide range of medical and surgical treatment options for patients with heart failure. There are numerous causes for heart failure. For this reason, we develop an individualized treatment plan for each patient. Our treatment plans are developed cooperatively with the physician, a multi-disciplinary team and the patient to create the best plan of care.

Treatment Options:

• Outpatient/Inpatient heart failure consultation
• Individualized plan of medical therapy tailored to advanced heart failure
• Nutritional evaluation and counseling
• Pharmacy evaluation and assistance
• Aquapheresis
• Implantable devices (pacemakers, defibrillators)
• Advanced techniques in cardiovascular surgery
• Mechanical circulatory support (implantable VAD)
• Heart transplantation
