Liver Transplant Centers in the Minneapolis Area

[Guest guest]

My PSC has progressed to the point that I am being referred for a Liver

transplant to the University of Minnesota. But recently a local

television station did a very negative story on the U of M's Children's

Heart Transplant Group – basically bouncing people between the A and B

list for reasons that had to do with the Doctor on vacation, Holidays

and then forgetting to raise the child back up. The Children's Heart

Clinic had only 1 transplant in 2006 and zero in 2007 and 2008 and

parents were taking their children to other hospitals like St. Louis.

I have heard good things about the Adult Liver Group and the U of M,

but the story does raise my concern. Does anyone have any info on the

Liver Transplant Center at the U.of M. Also – is another center

available – would Mayo be a better option.

Thanks in advance.
