Leaders in Heart-Liver-Kidney Transplants
UChicago Medicine has the science and skill to bring the best possible outcomes to our patients, including (left to right) Neil Perry, Daru Smith, Sarah McPharlin and Apurva Patel who all received triple-organ transplants within a year’s time.
At the Forefront of Transplantation
When six patients came to the University of Chicago Medicine this past year — each with failing hearts, livers and kidneys — our expert care teams embraced the challenge other hospitals shied away from, and we saved their lives through rare triple-organ transplants. We have now performed 10 of these transplants since 1999, more than any other institution in the world.

How UChicago Medicine became a leader in triple-organ transplants
How did UChicago Medicine end up performing six triple-organ transplants in one year? It’s all about the right pieces of a complex puzzle coming together at the right time.
What happens after a transplant?
After transplant surgery, a team of support staff steps in to help a patient achieve all of the first-year healing milestones.
Three patients share their journeys to triple-organ transplants
Since UChicago Medicine's historic back-to-back triple-organ transplants in December 2018, their teams have performed another four heart-liver-kidney transplants. Meet three of the four new multi-organ transplant recipients.
