ABSTRACT
We describe the case of a peripartum thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura with fulminant cardiogenic shock treated with extracorporeal life support. Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura should be considered in the case of thrombotic microangiopathy with several or severe organ involvement and needs emergent treatment with plasmapheresis (with or without rituximab). In the case of cardiac involvement, aggressive treatment should be considered given the high mortality and the potential complete recovery.
