About this trial
The goal of this prospective randomized single blind multicenter phase II study is to compare organ perfusion with Custodiol-N and Custodiol in heart transplantation in children of all ages (birth to \<18 years) being listed on the waiting list for heart transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is:
to compare the safety of Custodiol-N in heart transplantation in children in comparison to its precursor product Custodiol.
Participants will receive either a heart to be transplanted, either perfused with Custodiol-N or Custodiol to Researchers will compare the two solutions to see if the new solution Custodiol-N is safe in heart transplantation in children.
