Pediatric Lung Transplant

Organ transplantation offers hope for families with a child facing end-stage lung disease. This hope is what drives Monroe Carell to provide one of the nation’s most experienced transplant teams, bringing together experts in heart, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas.

The surgeons who lead our team have special training in lung transplants. They work with a dedicated team of pulmonologists, nurse coordinators, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, child life specialists, psychologists, physical and occupational therapists. This team works together with your family to maximize the quality of care and reduce organ wait times.

We pioneer new approaches to serve more patients, including those at high risk who may not be candidates for transplantation at other medical centers. As part of the Vanderbilt Transplant Center, we provide world-class expertise and a seamless transition to adult care.
