Jaroszewski DE et al. – The authors present a patient with fulminant myocarditis where extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support escalated to short–term Levitronix CentriMag biventricular assist devices. These in turn were exchanged, without major surgery, to long–term paracorporeal VADs. After rehabilitation and nearly total recovery, the patient was weaned from mechanical circulatory support after 104 cumulative days.
