Fulminant myocarditis frequently results in severe hemodynamic deterioration. High-dose vasopressors or sometimes mechanical circulatory support are required. We report on two cases of fulminant myocarditis successfully treated with pulsatile extracorporeal life support (T-PLS®, Twin Pulse Life support, New heart bio.BHK, Seoul, Korea). With T-PLS, we were able to provide mechanical support to patients until they recovered completely.
暴发性心肌炎常导致严重的血流动力学恶化,需要使用大剂量血管升压药,有时还需要机械循环支持。我们报告了两例暴发性心肌炎患者成功接受搏动性体外生命支持(T-PLS®,双脉冲生命支持,韩国首尔新心生物BHK公司)治疗的病例。通过T-PLS,我们能够为患者提供机械支持,直至他们完全康复。
