About this trial

The investigators are doing this study to compare approaches to cold storage of donor hearts during transportation. The adjustable temperature RYOBI cooler should allow precise temperature control while reducing environmental waste and providing a cost savings benefit when compared to the commercially available, FDA-approved Paragonix SherpaPak device.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Individuals 18 years old or older are included.

Individuals undergoing isolated heart transplantation are included.

Disqualifiers

Any records flagged "break the glass" or "research opt out."

Any patients undergoing multi-organ transplantation.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of primary graft dysfunction

compare the incidence of primary graft dysfunction between patients randomized to donor heart preservation using the adjustable temperature RYOBI cooler (Model # Pi1824QBT) (n = 40) versus the Paragonix SherpaPak (n = 40) in cases where the anticipated total ischemic time for the graft is between 120 and 240 minutes.

Time frame
From Randomization to 30 days after heart transplantation
