ABSTRACT
In patients with severe cardiogenic shock requiring implantation of a short-term assist device transportation to a specialized heart center for further therapy may be necessary. We report the first successful transcontinental air transport (from Singapore to Berlin, Germany) of a patient with fulminating myocarditis requiring implantation of a biventricular assist device.
