The University of Michigan Hospitals has developed an active hepatic and renal transplantation program that averages approximately eight hepatic and nine renal transplants per month. This program is staffed by seven faculty members who also staff most of the difficult vascular cases. Extensive experience is gained in handling massive transfusion and coagulation problems, as well as the placement of arterial and central venous lines, and thoracic epidural catheters.
Research projects are ongoing in both the transplant and vascular arenas.
