Heart pump registry reveals how often doctors use balloon assist devices

NCT ID NCT02900456

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This completed registry study tracked 177 heart patients who received an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP), a device that helps the heart pump blood. Researchers recorded how often the pump was used, why it was used, and patient survival rates. The goal was to gather real-world data on current IABP practices, not to test a new treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP)

What this could lead to

If successful, this registry could help doctors understand when IABP use is most beneficial for heart patients.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It only tracks current practices and outcomes, so it won't prove whether IABP is effective or not.
