NCT ID NCT06274411

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study looks at two different ways to use a heart-lung machine (ECMO) during high-risk heart procedures. The goal is to see if having the machine ready but not connected until needed works better than connecting it before the procedure starts. The trial involves 176 adults with weak hearts or complex blockages, and it tracks major complications like death, heart attack, or stroke.
