                        My husband is on the heart transplant list at the Salt Lake City VA hospital.  They have a GREAT team of transplant docs, and the surgery is actually done at the U of Utah hospital, which the VA contracts with. The only other VA hospital which does heart transplants is in Virginia near DC.  They also do LVADs, a mechanical pump that allows the patient to last until transplant.  My husband is on the verge of getting one of them too.  Please email for more info at gnhobbs@dotplanet.net.  Good luck
