Do mechanical circulatory support systems improve survival or bridge to transplantation in patients with cardiogenic shock after acute fulminant myocarditis?
Mechanical circulatory support can serve as a viable bridge to heart transplantation or recovery in patients with cardiogenic shock due to acute fulminant myocarditis.
Reiss et al. (1996) studied this question.
