HC is a rare cause of congestive heart failure that typically presents with malignant ventricular arrhythmias in infants, often requiring urgent intervention. Successful heart transplantation in a patient with HC has only been reported once (J Heart Lung Transplant 2004: 23: 902). The combination of HC with concurrent LVNC has only been described three times (Int J Legal Med 2009: 123: 47; Hum Pathol 2005: 36: 403; Pediatr Dev Pathol 2012: 15: 397). We report two rare cases of HC with LVNC in two infants presenting with cardiogenic shock, one requiring ECMO support who was successfully bridged to orthotopic heart transplantation with a Berlin Heart LVAD.
致心律失常性右室心肌病(HC)是导致充血性心力衰竭的罕见病因,在婴儿中通常表现为恶性室性心律失常,常需紧急干预。仅有1例HC患者成功进行心脏移植的报道(《心肺移植杂志》2004年;23卷:902页)。HC合并左室心肌致密化不全(LVNC)仅被描述过3次(《国际法医病理学杂志》2009年;123卷:47页;《人类病理学》2005年;36卷:403页;《儿科发育病理学》2012年;15卷:397页)。我们报告了2例婴儿患HC合并LVNC的罕见病例,均表现为心源性休克,其中1例需要体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)支持,并通过柏林心脏左心室辅助装置(LVAD)成功过渡到原位心脏移植。
