Summary

This trial investigates whether implanting the kidney in a separate, delayed surgery after the heart transplant—rather than both at once—can improve outcomes for patients needing a combined heart and kidney transplant. The kidney is kept healthy using a machine that pumps cold, oxygenated fluid through it until the second operation. Researchers are measuring how often the kidney works right away and how many complications occur within 90 days.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion of the kidney allograft with delayed implantation
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce kidney injury and the need for dialysis after combined heart/kidney transplantation.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage safety study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Delaying kidney implantation carries risks of infection or graft failure.
