NCT ID NCT07230886
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new temperature control system (Xo Port) for preserving donor hearts during transplant, compared to the standard ice method. The goal is to see if it reduces severe complications like primary graft dysfunction. About 50 adult heart transplant recipients will take part, and researchers will track outcomes like survival, recovery time, and organ function.
