In 2011, Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute and Comprehensive Transplant Center performed the most adult heart transplants of any medical center in the United States, according to a press release.

Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute became the leader among the 116 US medical centers after performing 87 heart transplants and two heart and lung transplants last year. This is the second year in a row that Cedars-Sinai performed the highest number of transplants, performing 75 heart transplants and one heart and lung transplant in 2010.
