We describe a unique case of isolated ICI-induced right ventricular myocarditis leading to right ventricular failure, that was refractory despite ICI therapy cessation and immune suppression by repeated high dose steroids. Co-stimulatory pathway modulation with Abatacept eventually lead to the normalization of RV function and dilation ten months after initial myocarditis onset.
