Background  Temporary mechanical circulatory support device without sternotomy has been highly advocated for severe cardiogenic shock patient but little is known when coupled with amniotic stem cell therapy.    Case presentation  This case reports the first dual therapy of temporary left ventricular extracorporeal device CentriMag with distal banding technique and human amniotic stem cell injection for treating a severe refractory cardiogenic shock of an 68-year-old female patient. A minimally-invasive off-pump LVAD was established by draining from the left ventricle and returning to the right axillary artery with distal arterial banding to prevent right upper extremity hyperperfusion. Amniotic stem cells were injected intramyocardially at the left ventricular apex, lateral wall, inferior wall, and right subclavian vein.    Conclusion  The concomitant use of the temporary minimally-invasive off-pump CentriMag placement and stem cell therapy not only provided an alternative to cardiopulmonary bypass and full-median sternotomy procedures but may have also synergistically enhanced myocardial reperfusion and regeneration.
