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

BACKGROUND: Acute myocarditis can result in severe hemodynamic compromise requiring
venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Outcomes and factors …

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

Background Peripheral venoarterial extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (ECMO)
support is effective in patients with cardiogenic shock or fatal arrhythmia due to fulminant …

Objectives: Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) is a disease category that is easily neglected.
Circulatory mechanical support is sometimes required for this devastating condition. We …

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 …

Background Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an effective support method
for acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) with cardiogenic shock. However, deciding whether to …

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 …

Background: Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) is a serious disease that progresses rapidly,
and leads to failing respiratory and circulatory systems. When medications fail to reverse the …

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 …
