Sponsor's own description

Over the past decade, VA-ECMO has become the main mechanical support for cardiogenic shock (CS) unresponsive to medical therapy. However, recent studies failed to show any significant survival benefit at 30 days compared to medical treatment for myocardial infarction-related CS. This could be due to the complications of VA-ECMO, such as LV overload and increased LV distension, which can hinder heart recovery. To address this, early LV unloading using devices like IABP or Impella (ECMELLA) may help by reducing LV wall stress and oxygen consumption. However, these techniques carry risks, and their benefit is still unclear. A randomized trial is needed to compare these approaches, but observational studies are also contributing to understanding the best strategies
