Treatments tested in this trial
OCS Heart
DeviceThe TransMedics® Organ Care System (OCS) Heart System is an FDA approved portable extracorporeal heart perfusion and monitoring system. The OCS Heart System's innovative technology was designed to comprehensively overcome the historical limitations of cold storage. The OCS Heart System expands the utilization of donor hearts by enabling the use of donor hearts deemed unsuitable for procurement and transplantation at initial evaluation due to limitations of cold static cardioplegic preservation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Recipients' patient and graft survival
Recipients' patient and graft survival rates will be the primary clinical outcomes measures for all OCS Heart transplanted recipients compared to recipients receiving heart transplants using non-OCS preservation methods (cold static storage or other perfusion devices or a combination of both). This data will be obtained directly from UNOS/OPTN database.
