The cardiac transplant program at MUSC has been in existence since June 1987 and is the only cardiac transplant program in South Carolina. The transplant team, directed by A.J. Crumbley III, M.D. and with Adrian Van Bakel, M.D. as medical director, consists of physicians, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dietitians and administrative personnel. Henry Wiles, MD as Medical Director of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Program, currently follows seven children ranging from one year to sixteen years of age. In addition, those patients with refractory Congestive Heart Failure maintained on intravenous inotropes or intraaortic balloon pumps can now be offered a bridge to transplantation with the TCI HeartMateŽ left-ventricular assist device (LVAD).
