Heart preservation device trial for transplant patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a portable device that keeps donor hearts healthy outside the body before transplant. It may help more donor hearts be used, including those from donors after circulatory death and hearts previously considered less suitable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and on the heart transplant list.
- You can sign consent and release medical information (HIPAA).
- You are not taking part in another experimental drug or device trial that could affect this study's results.

This study tests a new way of storing donor hearts at 10 degrees Celsius before transplant, instead of the usual ice-cold method, to see if it helps the heart stay healthy longer. If you are already on the heart transplant waiting list, you might be able to join.
This is a registry that collects information about how donated hearts are handled using a portable machine that keeps the heart healthy outside the body. It may help researchers improve future care, but it usually does not test a new medication.
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 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.
This trial tests whether using a different method to store a donated heart before transplant improves outcomes. It compares “non-ischemic preservation” versus standard cold storage for people getting a new heart.
This trial is testing a new cooling device, called the Precise Cooler, that keeps donor hearts at the right temperature while they are being transported to the hospital. The goal is to improve how donor hearts are preserved, which may help the transplant be more successful.
