Among all 21 transplanted patients four developed fatal early graft failure (28.6% vs. ![]() SherpaPak™ kept the organ temperature at 5.1☐.8 ☌, with an average outside temperature of 21.4☓.6 ☌. Cold ischemic time was longer in the SherpaPak™ group (207.7☒3.3 vs. Since July 2018 seven patients (5 males mean age 50.3☑3.2years) underwent heart transplantation with the SherpaPak™ system. The outcome after donor heart storage in the SherpaPak™ was compared with donor heart transportation with the standard technique. In this case control study with 2:1 matching we identified 21 patients after heart transplantation depending on type of organ transport (standard three-bag-technique vs. We report our early experience with a single-use disposable device (SherpaPak™, Paragonix Technologies, MA, USA) specifically designed for sterile permanent temperature-controlled transportation of donor hearts. This technique can cause freezing injury with protein denaturation. The current gold standard for donor heart preservation is a three-bag-technique and storage in a cooler filled with slush ice. ![]()
