Organ Transplant Innovation: Helping more people get the gift of life.

Mayo Clinic is celebrating 60 years of helping patients receive the gift of life through organ transplants. Over the past six decades, Mayo Clinic has remained at the forefront of research and cutting-edge innovation which is revolutionizing the world of organ transplant.

Tens of thousands of people are on organ transplant waiting lists in the US. The wait can take years.

There is hope.

Innovation is transforming how organ transplants are performed, helping more people get the lifesaving organs they need. A special kidney perfusion pump can help preserve a donor organ, often giving transplant teams a critical edge in the race against the clock.

The pump helped Christopher Leslie get his new kidney. Now he’s got his health back and is fulfilling his dream of teaching his daughter about their Native American heritage.
