In this video, we explore the Xenios iCor ECG-synchronized pulsatile extracorporeal life support system.
The iCor platform combines VA-ECMO support with controlled pulsatile blood flow.
Unlike conventional continuous-flow ECMO, pulsatility is actively generated by the extracorporeal pump.
The system synchronizes pump speed changes with the patient’s cardiac cycle using the ECG.
We explain the physiological rationale behind pulsatile VA-ECMO.

The Xenios iCor system introduces ECG-synchronized pulsatile flow into VA-ECMO, using changes in pump speed to generate pulsatility according to the patient’s cardiac cycle.
In this video, we explore the technology, physiological rationale, potential benefits, experimental evidence and the current clinical data.
But one important question remains:
👉 Does a more physiological flow pattern actually translate into better outcomes for patients?
