NCT ID NCT07027202

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding a balloon pump early to relieve pressure on the left ventricle improves outcomes for people in severe cardiogenic shock who are already on a heart-lung machine (VA-ECMO). About 298 adults will be randomly assigned to early preventive unloading or standard care with rescue unloading only if needed. The goal is to see if early intervention reduces death, complications, and time on life support.
