Pitt History

1984

World's first double transplant operation
Pitt surgeons Thomas Starzl and Henry Bahnson performed the world's first double transplant operation.

Pittsburgh's transplant programs are internationally renowned, for good reason. Surgeons at Pitt—in conjunction with the hospitals of UPMC Medical Center—perform more types of organ transplants than at any other institution. These transplants include liver, kidney, pancreas, small bowel, liver/small bowel, heart, heart/lung, double-lung, single-lung, and multiple-organ transplants.
