ABSTRACT
Cardiovascular system involvement and its negative prognostic impact have been increasingly identified in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. Optimal medical treatment allows for safe management of most of these cardiovascular presentations while COVID-19-associated refractory cardiogenic shock could be rescued by veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). We present a case of acute myocardial injury related to COVID-19 complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock and treated by VA-ECMO implantation.
