    Author: Seeburger J, Doll N, Doll S, Borger MA, Mohr FW.
    Journal: Can J Cardiol; 2010 Feb; 26(2):96-7. PubMed ID: 20151055.
    Abstract:
    A case of Epstein-Barr virus-related acute giant cell myocarditis in a 16-year-old boy is reported. Fulminant heart failure was successfully treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to urgent heart transplantation, and was again necessary after transplantation because of acute right heart failure. Clinical management and postoperative surveillance of this unusual problem are presented and discussed. Les auteurs rendent compte du cas d’un garçon de 16 ans atteint d’une myocardite aiguë à cellules géantes liée au virus d’Epstein-Barr. On a traité l’insuffisance cardiaque fulminante par oxygénation extracorporelle dans l’attente d’une greffe cardiaque d’urgence, puis on a repris ce traitement après la greffe en raison d’une insuffisance aiguë du cœur droit. La prise en charge clinique et la surveillance postopératoire de ce problème inhabituel sont présentées et exposées.
