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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Pediatric cardiology patients under the age of 18 on ECMO

concerns for ischemic injury on the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit

Disqualifiers

Known mitochondria disorders

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • autologous mitochondria transplantation

    Other intervention

    Autologous mitochondria obtained from the subject's own skeletal muscle will be injected or infused into the ischemic myocardium
