Article Abstract
This case report describes a 47-year-old woman with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A), who presented with fulminant myocarditis and severe rhabdomyolysis. Despite the absence of severe respiratory symptoms, the patient showed remarkable myocardial and leg edema with significant systemic inflammation and elevated creatine kinase levels after the COVID-19 infection. The patient required venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and Impella CP for hemodynamic stabilization; however, she was successfully treated. We also reviewed reported cases of concurrent myocarditis and muscular involvement in patients with COVID-19, as well as cases of fulminant myocarditis and MIS-A requiring VA-ECMO.

Aeromedical Transport With Combined Extracorporeal Circulatory and Renal Support Bridging a Critically Ill Patient to Heart Transplantation.

From Airlec Medical, Mérignac, France.
Long-distance aeromedical transport of critically ill patients is an increasingly important component of modern intensive care. However, the combination of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) and renal replacement therapy (RRT) during an intercontinental flight had never been previously documented. This case report describes the first known case of a 27 year old patient with fulminant viral myocarditis and multi-organ failure who was successfully repatriated from Bangkok (Thailand) to Paris (France) while receiving both VA ECMO and 6 hours of in-flight sustained low-efficiency dialysis (SLED).

Background: Yellow fever virus (YFV) remains a re-emerging zoonotic threat in South America. While epizootics in free-ranging spp. are well-documented, little is known about YFV infection in other Neotropical non-human primates (NHPs), particularly in captive settings.

Background: Fulminant myocarditis (FM) is a rare but serious inflammatory disease of the heart that should be considered for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supportive therapy when it occurs. The diagnosis of FM is made more difficult in the context of Marfan's syndrome combined with aortic root dilation. We report a case of a patient on ECMO support and with comorbid Marfan's syndrome who was finally diagnosed with FM after computed tomography angiography (CTA) differentiated between FM, coronary artery disease, and aortic root dilation.

Fulminant myocarditis is a rare but life-threatening complication of influenza A infection that can result in acute biventricular failure leading to cardiogenic shock. Here, we present the case of a young patient who developed acute bilateral heart failure secondary to influenza A and was successfully stabilized using both right and left-sided Impella devices. This case highlights the critical role of early and aggressive mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in managing fulminant myocarditis and emphasizes the utility of Impella in cases of severe cardiac dysfunction.
