The organ support assembly includes a plurality of ribs having a first position, in which each of the plurality of ribs is parallel with one another, and a second position, in which a first rib of the plurality of ribs is transverse with respect to a second rib of the plurality of ribs. The at least one organ support assembly is pivotable from a first orientation, in which each of the plurality of ribs is disposed in the longitudinal plane of the shaft, to a second orientation, in which each of the plurality of ribs is disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal plane of the shaft, and a support extending between and connected to each of the plurality of two ribs.
