The study describes  the results for six transplant patients, that received a donated heart after it was stored during transport using the new technology. These six patients are compared with 25 patients where the donated  heart  is stored during transport with traditional cold preservation. After six months, all patients (100%) transplanted with the new technology are alive and without serious complications related to heart function or rejection. The corresponding outcome in the control group of 25 patients was 72%. The results show that the method is safe and functional for clinical application.
