Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy often presents to the cardiac catheterization laboratory masquerading as acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Some of these patients present in shock secondary to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. The typical patient is an elderly, hypertensive female with sigmoid deformity of the intraventricular septum. The management of hemodynam...
متن کامل[Left ventricular rupture of mitral valve prosthesis implantation treated using an intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation].
Left ventricular rupture is an infrequent but potentially fatal complication of mitral valve replacement. In spite of the fact that several methods of repair have previously been described, the mortality rate remains nearly 85%. The use of the intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation may increase the possibilities of success in the repair of this dreaded complication. We present here three ca...
متن کاملIschemic Colitis Caused by Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation
Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) has been shown to prolong life in critically ill cardiac patients. However, complications including distal emboli, balloon rupture, bleeding, limb loss, and bowel ischemia continue to be associated with them. We present a case of a 56-year-old male who suffered bowel ischemia as a result of a malpositioned IABP. While the benefit of such devices...
متن کاملHigh left ventricular outflow tract gradient: Aortic stenosis, obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or both?
The authors report the case of a patient diagnosed with both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and aortic stenosis. Due to clinical deterioration, additional investigation was performed, and a high left ventricular outflow tract gradient was identified. Correct identification of the condition causing the symptoms was challenging, and involved several imaging techniques, the contribution of transesoph...
متن کاملTakotsubo Cardiomyopathy Complicated with Left Ventricle Outflow Tract Obstruction Secundary to Mental Stress. Case Report
Takotsubo Syndrome is an acute heart failure that affects Predominantly posmenopausal women. It is similar to acute coronary syndromes with ST segment elevations, therefore, it’s estimated that 1% to 2% of all acute coronary syndromes are Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. There’s also a relation to physical and psychological stress factors, without an exact physiopathology [1]. A previous RETAKO trial,...
