Brief Summary
This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel OCS Solution and OCS Functional Enhancer (OFE) to support FDA approval in both DBD and DCD heart transplantation. In addition, this trial will evaluate the performance of the novel OCS Solution and OFE compared to Static Cold Storage (SCS) in DBD heart transplantation to potentially demonstrate superiority.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Donor hearts are deemed clinically acceptable for transplantation after physical examination of the donor hearts in the donor chest and/or on the back table in the donor operating room.
- All DCD donors eligible for functional warm ischemic time criteria ≤ 30 minutes. WIT defined as time from when mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) is \<50mmHg (sustained for at least 5 minutes) to aortic cross clamp and administration of old cardioplegia in the donor.
- DBD donor hearts with an expected cross clamp of ≥ 4 hours
- DBD donor hearts with any of the following organ quality concerns, regardless of cross clamp time:
- Donor age ≥ 40 years old
- Unknown downtime
- Insignificant CAD
- LVEF ≤ 50%
- Part B - DBD Donor Hearts Currently Used with Cold Storage (New Indication):
- Donor hearts are deemed clinically acceptable for transplantation after physical examination of the donor hearts in the donor chest and/or on the back table in the donor operating room.
- Eligible for randomization to OCS or SCS treatment arms.
- DBD donor hearts with an expected cross clamp time of \< 4 hours.
- Moderate to severe aortic incompetence
- DBD donor with any of the following organ quality concerns:
- Donor age ≥ 40 years old
- +7 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Participant in any other interventional clinical or investigational trials/programs that may confound the outcomes of this trial
