MHIF Researchers Help Save Lives with “Heart in a Box” Clinical Trial

MHIF is excited to be at the forefront of new clinical research that is working to find viable solutions to the problem. Since August, MHIF’s heart failure researchers, in partnership with the ANW Hospital, have completed three successful heart transplants with use of the investigational TransMedics Organ Care System (OCS™). The OCS™ Heart is a revolutionary system that preserves donor hearts, keeping them beating instead of simply storing them on ice in a cooler during transport as has been the traditional approach.
