The Heart Transplant Clinic
The clinic offers a follow-up for patients and their
families before, during and after heart transplantations. It is
supported by a medical team under the direction of Dr. Guy
Pelletier and Dr. Michel Carrier, and by the specialized clinics
and case management coordinator, 4 clinician nurses
and a secretary.
Our objective is to offer a personalized follow-up
to any patient who has received or who is waiting for a
transplant. We optimize our patients' health profile to help them
achieve the best possible quality of life. The team strives for
clinical stability through complex, strong pharmacological
treatments and leading edge surgical treatments such as heart
transplants, mechanical hearts and ventricular assistance
devices.
The success of the Institute's transplant clinic is
based on the interaction between the various partners of the
interdisciplinary team, from the psychiatrist to the surgeon, the
nurse to the cardiologist, the social worker to the dietician.
The combination of their knowledge, expertise and commitment
ensures that transplant patients receive the best of care.
