A previously well 53-year-old man with fulminant myocarditis is presented. Cardiogenic shock and medically refractory low cardiac output syndrome were unsuccessfully treated using an intraaortic balloon pump. A percutaneous extracorporeal bypass system improved hemodynamics, DIC and other multiorgan injuries following acute myocarditis.
