REPORT DESCRIPTION
Heart Transport Systems Market – Overview
Heart transport systems are devices used for maintenance and nourishment of heart while it is being
transported from harvest in preparation for transplantation. Heart transportation is a highly critical process
as the heart can only be preserved for around 4 hours in an ice box. Advanced transport systems such as
LifeCradle product developed by Organ Transport Systems can preserve heart for 12 hours.
The Global Heart Transport System – Market Dynamics
Increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases that often require heart transplant surgeries and
government initiatives in funding for research and development in heart transplant surgeries are major
factors driving growth of the global heart transport systems market. According to The International Society
for Heart and Lung Transplantation, in 2014, around 586 heart transplant surgeries were performed
worldwide. Increasing stress among the populace along with sedentary work, high fat intake, and
congenital defects in heart also increase demand for heart transplant. This in turn boosts growth of the
global heart transport systems market.
