Summary

This study tests whether adding a special heart pump (IABP) helps people on ECMO recover from severe cardiogenic shock. About 430 adults will be randomly assigned to get ECMO alone or ECMO plus the pump. The main goal is to see if more patients can successfully come off ECMO within 30 days without needing a heart transplant or permanent device.
