Brain flow modeling after ECMO: reconstruction vs. ligation
NCT ID NCT05237232
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how blood flows in the brains of children who have been on ECMO, a machine that helps the heart and lungs. Researchers will use MRI scans and computer models to compare two ways of repairing the carotid artery after ECMO is removed. The goal is to understand which method may be better for brain health, but no new treatment is being tested.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the best surgical technique to preserve brain blood flow in children after ECMO.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study (30 participants) using computer models, not a direct test of a treatment. Results may not apply to all children.
