We report the case of a 3-month-old girl presenting with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and therapy-resistant cardiogenic shock. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) Berlin Heart EXCOR was implanted, her organs recovered, and she was listed for heart transplantation. Two months later, while still on the LVAD, she was diagnosed with the rare genetic Alström syndrome. Weaning was no option, and she underwent successful heart transplantation at the age of 9 months. The follow-up 15 months later revealed an uneventful transplant course in a child with Alström syndrome.
我们报告了一名3个月大女童的病例,她患有终末期扩张型心肌病和难治性心源性休克。植入了左心室辅助装置(LVAD)柏林心脏EXCOR,她的器官功能恢复,随后被列入心脏移植名单。两个月后,仍在使用LVAD时,她被诊断出患有一种罕见的遗传性阿尔斯特伦综合征。无法撤掉LVAD,她在9个月大时成功接受了心脏移植。15个月后的随访显示,患有阿尔斯特伦综合征的这名儿童移植过程顺利。
