Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a novel hyperinflammatory syndrome that is associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infections. Reports describing the mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and myocardial biopsy for fulminant myocarditis due to MIS-C are limited.A 13-year-old male patient with MIS-C underwent treatment, including immunosuppressive therapy and MCS devices, and managed to recover from pulseless electrical activity cardiac arrest.This is the first patient in Japan with MIS-C who required MCS devices in Japan. Appropriate and immediate treatment with immunosuppressive therapy and MCS devices is important.
Keywords: Endomyocardial biopsy; Impella; SARS-CoV-2.
