Children's Hospital Boston's Heart Transplant Program evaluates children who are potential candidates for transplantation, and manages the care of those who have received transplanted hearts. A heart transplant is an operation performed to replace a diseased heart with a healthy one from another person.

Since its inception in 1986, Children's has performed more than 207 heart transplants, making it one of the largest pediatric heart transplant programs in the country. Specialists from Children's Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery departments provide pre- and post-operative care for patients and their families.
