  • Participant undergoing any desensitization treatment (also with cPRA less than 50%)
  • Participant with a positive prospective crossmatch and/or a positive virtual cross match

Donor Inclusion Criteria:

To be eligible to participate in this study, the donor heart must meet the following criteria:

1. Estimated Cross Clamp Time ≥4 hours OR
2. Estimated Cross Clamp ≥ 2 hours AND

Any one or more of the following:

Donor Exclusion Criteria:

Donor hearts that meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from transplantation in this study:

1. Unstable hemodynamics requiring high-dose inotropic support.
2. Significantly abnormal coronary angiogram defined as CAD > 50% stenosis of one or more vessels or if the donor heart exhibits any contusions, structural damage, gross abnormalities, or palpable CAD on final examination.
3. Moderate to severe cardiac valve pathology.
4. Investigator's clinical decision to exclude from trial.
5. Previous sternotomy.
