ECMELLA vs. ECMO on 30-day Mortality
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This international, multicenter cohort study aims to investigate outcomes after treatment with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) during cardiac arrest.

Detailed Description
Left ventricular unloading with Impella® micro-axial pump has been shown to improve survival in patients with cardiogenic shock treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). This study aims to investigate whether treatment with VA-ECMO and Impella ® (so called "ECMELLA") during extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation is associated with improved outcomes.
