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.
