MRI study of blood vessel changes after ECMO in infants
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study uses a brain MRI with a special blood-vessel scan to see how circulation changes after a life-support machine called ECMO in young children. It may help doctors better understand what happens in the brain after ECMO and improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your child’s parents/guardians) can give permission and do not object to participation
- Your child weighs under 20 kg and is a newborn, infant, or child
- Your child is currently in the pediatric/neonatal intensive care unit at Trousseau Hospital
- Your care plan includes doing a brain MRI angiography (MRA)
- If your child was treated with ECMO: they had breathing/circulation failure, used ECMO with a neck-vessel setup, and were taken off ECMO and survived
- If your child was not on ECMO: they must have been diagnosed at birth with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury after low oxygen)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the results (outcomes) for adults who are receiving VA ECMO, a heart-lung life support machine. The goal is to better understand how patients do while on this type of support.
This study uses a special MRI method to measure how much blood is reaching the brain in children with certain artery problems. It may help doctors better assess these conditions during routine care and imaging.
This trial tests an imaging method that measures brain signals without using X-rays. It may help researchers understand brain activity in healthy adults, newborns, premature babies, and pregnant people by testing whether the scan can be done reliably and safely.
This study monitors how much blood is reaching the brain in adults who need a specific type of life-support called VV-ECMO. The goal is to better understand brain blood flow and how monitoring may help manage care during ECMO.
This study uses an MRI scan to measure how your brain uses oxygen. It includes healthy participants and people with sickle cell disease or who previously needed ECMO, which may help researchers understand brain oxygen problems and how to monitor them.
This study uses a portable MRI to look for brain injuries in children on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine). It may help doctors detect problems early and improve care.
