Biventricular Intravascular Microaxial Blood Pumps and Immunosuppression as a Bridge to Recovery in Giant Cell Myocarditis

We report a case of giant cell myocarditis in a 76-year-old patient managed with combined immunosuppression and biventricular intravascular microaxial blood pumps. This case highlights a feasible approach for managing such patients who are not candidates for transplantation or durable ventricular as...
