Although most patients with acute myocarditis have a relatively uncomplicated clinical
course, a small number of patients may present with cardiogenic shock refractory to the …

BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), instead of ventricular
assist device (VAD), could work as the first-line treatment of choice for fulminant myocarditis …

Aims The clinical outcome of severe acute myocarditis patients with cardiogenic shock who
require circulatory support devices is not well known. We studied the survival and clinical …

Objectives: To characterize survival outcomes for adult patients with acute myocarditis
supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and identify risk factors for in-hospital …

Percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an invasive technique that provides
emergent circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. We report a favorable …

Background. Acute myocarditis (AM) complicated with refractory cardiogenic shock carries a
very high mortality. We report our experience in treating these patients, who were rescued …

The severity of acute myocarditis varies between subclinical to lethal. For fulminant
myocarditis, the mortality rate can be as high as 75% when shock occurs. Extracorporeal …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of children requiring extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation for acute myocarditis. The hospital records of 8 patients who …

While most patients with viral myocarditis have a relatively uncomplicated clinical course, a
small number of patients will present with cardiogenic shock unresponsive to standard …

Background Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) may represent a life-threatening event,
characterized by rapidly progressive cardiac compromise that ultimately leads to refractory …
