US National OCS Heart Perfusion Registry for Heart Transplant Patients

This study is an observational registry collecting information on heart transplant patients who receive a donor heart preserved using the TransMedics® Organ Care System (OCS) Heart System. This system is an FDA-approved device designed to keep donor hearts healthy outside the body before transplant. The study aims to understand how well patients and their new hearts do after transplant when the OCS Heart System is used in real-world settings. All heart transplant recipients who receive an OCS-perfused donor heart can join this registry. Researchers will track patient and heart survival for up to five years after the transplant to see how effective the OCS Heart System is.

Study design

  • Recipients' patient and graft survivalUp to 5 years post-transplant

    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.
