Brief summary

The Portable Organ Care System (OCS™) Heart for Resuscitating, Preserving and Assessing Hearts Donated after Circulatory Death Continued Access Protocol (OCS DCD Heart CAP)

Detailed description

To enable continued clinical access to DCD heart transplantation in the U.S. and to continue to collect additional data on the performance of the OCS Heart System to resuscitate, preserve and assess hearts donated after circulatory death for transplantation to increase the pool of donor hearts available for transplantation.
