About this trial
The investigators propose a robust therapeutic intervention to ameliorate myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury and significantly decrease morbidity and mortality in patients requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), by direct injection of autogeneic mitochondria into the ischemic myocardium.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Pediatric cardiology patients under the age of 18 on ECMO

Disqualifiers
Known mitochondria disorders
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
autologous mitochondria transplantation
Other interventionAutologous mitochondria obtained from the subject's own skeletal muscle will be injected or infused into the ischemic myocardium

Secondary outcomes
Efficacy- Improvement in Outcome measures: increased ventricular function on echocardiogram, measured by ejection fraction
Improvement in ventricular function
Efficacy- Improvement in Outcome measures: ability to be separated from ECMO support, measured in days since injection
The ability to decannulate from ECMO support
