Abstract: Fulminant myocarditis is a severe heart inflammatory disease caused by a variety of causes，which are so insidious and deteriorative rapidly，with atypical early clinical symptoms，and that the patients are prone to obstinately cardiogenic shock，heart failure and fatal arrhythmia with high mortality.In recent years，the development of mechanical circulatory support（MCS）has brought light to the rescue of critically ill children.Due to factors such as technological limits and economic level，children MCS can only be carried out in a minority of superior medical establishment，which developmental stage is still lagging far behind that of adults.This review summarized the recent progress of MCS in children with fulminant myocarditis from the perspective of the multifold types of MCS for providing theoretical support for further clinical improment.
