This international, multicenter cohort study aims to investigate outcomes after treatment with extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR) during cardiac arrest.
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.
