Non-Ischemic Preservation of the Donor Heart in Heart Transplantation - A Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Trial Using The Xvivo Heart Assist Preservation System for Hypothermic Oxygenated Perfusion (NIHP2019)

Purpose: Cold static storage remains the worldwide gold standard for preserving donor hearts prior to transplantation. We evaluated if continuous, hypothermic, oxygenated perfusion of the donor heart with the XVIVO heart preservation technology, so called non-ischemic heart preservation (NIHP), is safe and superior compared to ischemic cold static storage.
