Emory’s Heart & Lung Transplantation and Mechanical Circulatory Support programs — led by Mani Daneshmand, MD — offer the latest advances and proven techniques in lung and heart transplantation, as well as access to mechanical assistance devices. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every member of your care team is on the same page.
We work together to closely monitor your health, evaluate treatment options and deliver care, treatments and the support you need.
We’re committed to helping our patients maintain their best possible quality of life. If your heart or lung function begins to decline, we will be here to find the solution you need to live well.
Our commitment to innovation, research and high-quality care is evident in our lung transplantation program — the only program of its kind in the entire state. We serve patients throughout the Southeast and are proud of our proven record of success. To date, Emory has performed over 500 lung transplant procedures.
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are commonly used as a bridge to transplant for individuals with end-stage heart failure. More recently, VADs have been approved as an effective alternative to transplant for some patients.
The team at Emory University Hospital is one of only four programs in Georgia to receive the “Gold Seal of Approval” from The Joint Commission. This designation demonstrates our team’s commitment to improving your health and returning you to your best possible life.
Our mission is focused on delivering coordinated, high-quality care to every patient so that no one needs to leave the state of Georgia for heart or lung failure care or transplants.
