Heart Transplant
California Pacific Medical Center has been at the forefront of cardiovascular medical and surgical services for over fifty years. CPMC surgeons performed the nation’s first heart transplant in a private hospital in 1984. Since then, we have performed over 385 heart transplants—many on high-risk patients.
The graphs below show two markers of transplant quality: patient survival and graft survival.
Patient Survival
| Results | 1 month: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2008 and 12/31/2010 | 1 year: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2008 and 12/31/2010 | 3 years: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2006 and 06/30/2008 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPMC Results | 96% | 82% | 73% |
| Expected | 97% | 92% | 85% |
| United States | 96% | 90% | 82% |

Graft Survival
| Results | 1 month: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2008 and 12/31/2010 | 1 year: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2008 and 12/31/2010 | 3 years: Patients receiving transplant between 07/01/2006 and 06/30/2008 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPMC Results | 96% | 82% | 75% |
| Expected | 96% | 91% | 84% |
| United States | 96% | 90% | 81% |
The "expected" value is calculated based on transplant patient and donor characteristics which take factors such as age and patient diagnosis into consideration. The expected patient survival rate is the patient survival rate we would expect to see based on our patient and donor population's characteristics.
