Abstract
Fulminant acute myocarditis can be the cause of rapid cardiac decompensation that is resistant to maximal medical therapy. Successful weaning from left ventricular mechanical support is very rare in fulminant myocarditis. We report the case of a young patient with viral myocarditis who was successfully weaned from a Thoratec left ventricular assist device with full recovery of myocardial function.
