Brief Summary:
The OCS™ Heart System will be used to preserve and assess donor hearts that do not meet current standard donor heart acceptance criteria for transplantation in this continued access protocol.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Heart Transplant Device: OCS Heart System Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
To provide additional data evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the OCS™ Heart System to preserve and assess donor hearts that do not meet current standard donor heart acceptance criteria (as identified above) for transplantation to potentially improve donor heart utilization for transplantation at a range of transplant centers in the U.S. and to permit patients and physicians access to the OCS Heart System while a PMA application is under preparation and review.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: OCS Preservation Device: OCS Heart System
The OCS Heart System preserves the heart in a near-physiological, beating state by perfusing the heart with a warmed, donor-blood based perfusate that is supplemented with nutrients and oxygen in a controlled and protected environment


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Survival [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Patient survival post transplant

  2. Absence of severe PGD [ Time Frame: 24 hours post heart transplant ]
    Absence of severe primary heart graft dysfunction of left and/or right ventricle in the first 24 hours post transplant


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Survival [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    Patient and graft survival

  2. Incidence of severe PGD [ Time Frame: 24 hours post transplant ]
    Incidence of severe primary heart graft dysfunction of left and/or right ventricle in the first 24 hours post heart transplant

  3. Donor heart utilization rate [ Time Frame: 24 hours post-transplant ]
    The proportion of eligible donor hearts that were successfully transplanted after preservation and assessment on the OCS Heart System


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Survival [ Time Frame: 6 and 12 months ]
    Patient survival at 6 and 12 months post-transplant

  2. Incidence of primary graft failure [ Time Frame: Through 12 months post transplant ]
    Incidence of primary graft failure requiring re-transplantation

  3. ICU stay [ Time Frame: Through hospital discharge, estimated to be 14 days ]
    Duration of initial post-transplant ICU stay in days

  4. Hospital stay [ Time Frame: Through hospital discharge, estimated to be 30 days ]
    Duration of initial post-transplant hospital stay in days
