Remote heart protection before organ transplant
This study tests whether a simple treatment performed on the donor before organ removal can help transplanted organs work better. It may help patients receiving organs from eligible brain-dead donors at a specific hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be receiving a transplanted organ (kidney, liver, pancreas-kidney, heart, or lungs)
- The donor must be a brain-dead person with a plan to harvest at least one kidney
- Your transplant surgery must be done at Helsinki University Hospital
- You must be age 18 or older
- You must sign a written consent form to join the study

This trial tests whether a simple technique that briefly cuts off blood flow to the arm (like a blood pressure cuff) before heart surgery can protect the body from harmful inflammation and reduce organ damage. This might help patients recover better after surgery.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated lungs before transplant to lower the risk of complications. It may help primary graft dysfunction, a serious lung problem after surgery.
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
This trial tests whether a simple “arm cuff” treatment done before a heart artery procedure can help protect the kidneys and the heart in people with congestive heart failure. If it works, it may lower the chance of kidney injury around the time of the scan/stent procedure.
This study tests whether a newer method of preserving donor kidneys (called HMPO2 with NRP) can improve outcomes compared with the standard NRP method alone. If you are getting a kidney from a donor after circulatory death, this could help your transplant succeed.
This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
