Percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for cardiogenic shock due to acute fulminant myocarditis
Abstract
Percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is an invasive technique that provides emergent circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. We report a favorable outcome of an acute fulminant myocarditis in a 25-year-old myasthenia patient with cardiogenic shock supported by percutaneous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
