Fulminant acute myocarditis can be the cause of rapid cardiac decompensation that is resistant to maximal medical therapy. Successful weaning from left ventricular mechanical support is very rare in fulminant myocarditis. We report the case of a young patient with viral myocarditis who was successfully weaned from a Thoratec left ventricular assist device with full recovery of myocardial function.
暴发性急性心肌炎可能是导致心脏迅速失代偿的原因,且对最大程度的药物治疗无效。在暴发性心肌炎患者中,成功撤下左心室机械支持装置的情况极为罕见。我们报告了一例年轻的病毒性心肌炎患者,该患者成功撤下Thoratec左心室辅助装置,心肌功能完全恢复。
