Heart transplant procedures have come a long way in just a few decades. Ascension St. Vincent has grown stronger as well. Since the beginning of the heart transplant program over 35 years ago, Ascension St. Vincent has completed nearly 700 heart transplants. We have also implanted over 500 VADs in the 15 years since the programs inception.
