ABSTRACT
A 9-year-old boy with Kawasaki disease survived after two severe myocardial infarctions.

After 19 days of biventricular and a further 27 days of left univentricular mechanical circulatory support with the Berlin Heart (Cardiotechnica, Berlin, Germany) assist device the boy successfully underwent heart transplantation. At a follow-up of 54 months, the boy is leading an active and unrestricted life.
