Heart-Lung machine could be lifeline for riskiest valve patients

NCT ID NCT07309029

Summary

This study is testing whether using a heart-lung machine (called LAVA-ECMO) before or during a minimally invasive heart valve replacement can make the procedure safer for high-risk patients. The research involves 30 adults with severe aortic valve narrowing who are unstable or have complex heart anatomy. Doctors want to see if this proactive support reduces deaths, cardiac arrests, or emergency surgeries during the hospital stay.
