In the previous weeks, and for the first time ever in Italy, a heart transplant was performed on an HIV positive patient. The transplant was performed at the Istituto Mediterraneo per i Trapianti e Terapie ad Alta Specializzazione (ISMETT) in Palermo. Only a dozen transplants of this kind have ever been performed worldwide. The procedure took place in the scope of the national program implemented in 2002 by the AIDS National Committee and the National Transplant Center.

The Istituto Mediterraneo per i Trapianti e Terapie ad Alta Specializzazione (ISMETT), operated by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) in Palermo, Italy, has become the first hospital in southern Italy to receive accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI). This achievement by one of Europe’s leading transplant centers is based on an extensive review of ISMETT’s patient safety and quality standards and processes.
