Abstract
- Giant cell myocarditis is a rare cause of cardiogenic shock requiring a high index of suspicion, rapid immunosuppressive therapy, and mechanical circulatory support. We present the case of a patient with giant cell myocarditis who underwent a successful bridge with four different types of mechanical circulatory support devices to heart transplantation.
