First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study watched 93 heart transplant patients whose donated hearts were kept beating outside the body using a special machine called the Organ Care System (OCS). The main goal was to see how many patients were still alive one year after their transplant. The study did not test a new treatment, but simply observed how the OCS was used in everyday hospital practice.
