TransMedics announces that its OCS Heart technology was used successfully to preserve and assess the world s first series of three successful adult heart transplant procedures from hearts donated from donors after circulatory death (DCD) by the St. Vincent s Hospital Heart Transplant team.ince the advent of organ transplantation, the cornerstone of organ preservation has been cold ischemic storage (placing organs on ice). Although this method is intended to reduce the extent of organ damage during transport, significant deterioration of the donated organ still occurs.
Suspected arrhythmias sometimes may be documented by using a small, portable ECG recorder, called a Holter monitor (or continuous ambulatory electrocardiographic monitor). This can record 24 hours (and sometimes more) of continuous electrocardiographic signals. While an ECG is sort of a 12-second snapshot of the heart's electrical activity, the Holter monitor is more like a movie. As with an ECG, electrodes are taped to the chest. The wires are connected to a portable, battery-operated recorder that can run for 24 to 48 hours.
