Heart transplant breakthrough? OCS device Follow-Up study tracks 5-Year survival
NCT ID NCT05741723
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study follows 276 heart transplant patients who received a donor heart preserved with the OCS Heart device. Researchers will track survival and other outcomes for up to 5 years after transplant. The goal is to confirm the long-term safety and effectiveness of using OCS-preserved hearts for transplantation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OCS Heart device (preserves donor hearts for transplant)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that OCS-preserved hearts are safe and effective for transplantation, potentially increasing the donor heart supply.
- What could go wrong
- This is a follow-up study, not a new treatment test. It only observes outcomes in already transplanted patients, so it cannot prove new benefits or safety beyond what is already known.
