Heart-lung machine left ventricle unloading study

This trial looks at using a specific heart-lung support machine (the EUROSETS ECMOLIFE system) for adults who need urgent “extra” circulation support. It may help clinicians understand how well the device works in serious situations like shock, cardiac arrest, or after heart surgery.

This study looks at using an external life-support machine after heart surgery. It may help patients who need temporary extra support while the heart and body recover.

This study will look at whether “left ventricular unloading” (using a device like IABP or Impella) helps people who are in cardiogenic shock while on VA ECMO. It compares outcomes for people who get unloading versus those who stay on VA ECMO alone.

This trial tests a possible treatment to help the heart recover faster in people who need ECMO support for severe cardiogenic shock (when the heart can't pump enough blood). The treatment involves early use of a device to reduce pressure on the heart's main pumping chamber.

This study looks at ways to improve breathing and blood flow in patients who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) for severe heart problems. It may help doctors better manage care for people in intensive care.

This study watches how your body responds to fluids while on VA ECMO (a heart-lung machine). The goal is to improve care for people needing this support.
