ABSTRACT
This case report illustrates how to implant a central paracorporeal temporary biventricular assist device in a 17-year-old patient with acute heart failure due to a fulminant form of coronavirus disease 2019 myocarditis. The procedure was carried out after prior veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. Myocardial biopsies and biventricular assist device explants are also included in the report. The patient was weaned on postoperative day 6 and discharged without any significant complications. One year after the event, the patient remains asymptomatic with normal biventricular function and a normal lifestyle.
