Refractory cardiogenic shock in a patient with β‐thalassemia major requiring mechanical circulatory support: Case report and literature review

Iron overload cardiomyopathy secondary to β‐thalassemia major is a potentially reversible condition managed with chelation and medical hemodynamic support, as bridge‐to‐recovery or transplant. We describe our experience, and challenges faced, in a pediatric patient with iron overload cardiomyopathy secondary to β‐thalassemia major, requiring biventricular MCS.
