Fulminant myocarditis (FM) can lead to a refractory cardiogenic shock and multiple organ failure. Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is not infrequency required to salvage patients in a profound shock. Advanced technology in MCS such as a temporary ventricular assist device can yield improved early outcome. However, incessant mesenteric ischemia remains a challenge to be resolved even with MCS. We here-in report 2 cases of FM associated with mesenteric ischemia that was extremely difficult to diagnose and treat. Therapeutic strategy for FM with mesenteric ischemia is discussed.
