Ascension St. Vincent has been the largest transplant program in Indiana for 15 consecutive years and just recently performed their 700th transplant.  


We have a robust amount of clinical research activity here at Ascension St Vincent Heart Center. Many of our Heart Failure specialists are also principal investigators in national and regional clinical trials. Our doctors are committed to being leaders in cardiovascular research, working to help improve how we diagnose and treat heart diseases.


We remain the largest and most active cardiac transplant program in the state of Indiana.  In 2023, we performed 30 heart transplants as well as 50 ventricular assist device procedures.  Today, as the largest heart transplant program in the state, we are helping more patients with cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, cardiac sarcoidosis, amyloidosis, debilitating arrhythmia and other heart conditions live more active, fulfilling lives.
