Heart transplant candidates matched for better heart preservation
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are listed as a primary heart transplant candidate (including children).
- The donor heart being offered is matched to you using the hospital’s usual matching process.
- The donor heart meets your hospital’s clinical standards for transplant use.
- Surgeons can connect the donor heart’s aorta safely (for example, enough length to reach).
- You are not currently incarcerated (not a prisoner).

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.
This study tests a special machine that helps preserve and evaluate donor hearts before transplant. If you're waiting for a heart transplant, this trial may help doctors find the best donor hearts and improve transplant outcomes.
This study collects and shares anonymous information about adults being considered for a heart transplant because of a congenital (from birth) heart problem or an inherited heart muscle condition. The goal is to better understand these patients and support research that may improve care.
This study looks at hearts donated for transplant that were found to have coronary artery disease and couldn't be used. Researchers want to understand the disease better by studying these hearts closely.
This study is creating a registry to track and learn from people with advanced heart failure or who have had a heart transplant. By joining, you help researchers better understand these conditions and improve care.
This study follows people with severe (end-stage) heart failure who are evaluated for and receive a heart transplant. It helps doctors understand what outcomes to expect after transplant, which can guide future care.
