We experienced two adult cases of fulminant myocarditis with severe cardiogenic shock where Impella left ventricular assist device [left ventricle (LV)-Impella] was concomitantly used with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO).
A 67-year-old man and a 49-year-old man with fulminant myocarditis were transferred to our hospital with mechanical support of V-A ECMO and IABP. Impella 5.0 and Impella CP were implanted 21 h and 17 h after establishing V-A ECMO for each case. Within 1 week, the patients' LV function progressively improved. Then the Impellas were withdrawn after discontinuing V-A ECMO. They were discharged from the intensive care unit within the following 8 days.
The optimal introducing timing of LV-Impella is not currently precise. However, this case report suggests that the initiation of LV-Impella within at least 24 h after establishing V-A ECMO may be acceptable for the recovery of cardiac function.
我们遇到了两例暴发性心肌炎合并严重心源性休克的成年病例,在这两例中,Impella左心室辅助装置(左心室 - Impella)与静脉 - 动脉体外膜肺氧合(V - A ECMO)联合使用。
一名67岁男性和一名49岁男性患有暴发性心肌炎,在V - A ECMO和主动脉内球囊反搏(IABP)的机械支持下被转送至我院。在为每例患者建立V - A ECMO后21小时和17小时分别植入了Impella 5.0和Impella CP。在1周内,患者的左心室功能逐渐改善。然后在停用V - A ECMO后撤出Impella。他们在接下来的8天内从重症监护病房出院。
目前左心室 - Impella的最佳引入时机尚不准确。然而,本病例报告表明,在建立V - A ECMO后至少24小时内启动左心室 - Impella对于心脏功能的恢复可能是可以接受的。
