Abstracts to be presented at the 2025 ISHLT Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions will emphasize the expanding clinical evidence demonstrating the positive post-transplant impact of Paragonix's advanced organ preservation devices on patient outcomes.

Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a pioneer in organ transplant products and services, is honored to announce the forthcoming release of new clinical data supporting the use of FDA-cleared and CE marked controlled hypothermic preservation devices and transplant services. These presentations compare and analyze post-transplant outcomes of patients, presented by a multi-center panel of clinical investigators representing the GUARDIAN Clinical Registries at the 45^th ISHLT Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions, located at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, MA from April 27-30, 2025.

Clinical investigators will be sharing data and research related to Paragonix heart and lung devices (Paragonix SherpaPak^®, BAROguard^®, and LUNGguard^®) in five oral presentations and four posters throughout the conference, including:
