Authors' objectives: This health technology assessment evaluates the effectiveness, safety, and cost-effectiveness of a portable normothermic cardiac perfusion system for the preservation and transport of hearts donated after cardiocirculatory death for adult heart transplantation. It also evaluates the budget impact of publicly funding a perfusion system and the experiences, preferences, and values of people with heart failure and family members of organ donors.
