About this trial

The goal of this multicenter, randomized trial is to compare early early left ventricular unloading by Intra-aortic Balloon Pump (IABP) versus conventional approach in patients with cardiogenic shock (CS) undergoing venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). The main question it aims to answer is :

• If left ventricular unloading by IABP as compared with the conventional approach will improve the outcomes in patients undergoing VA-ECMO.
