Abstract

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a type of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy characterized by an acute reversible left ventricular dysfunction with typical apical ballooning, usually with subsequent complete recovery. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are of great essence. Herein, we described a case of TTS of a patient who was scheduled initially for laparoscopic endometrial cancer staging. The 69-year-old woman presented with cardiogenic shock induced by the severe anaphylactic reaction to the antibiotics during anesthesia induction. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was implemented while several boluses of 1 mg epinephrine were injected. After the return of spontaneous circulation, a large number of orange peel-like rash appeared on the head, face, neck, and trunk of the patient. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed diffused decreased left ventricular systolic function. Therefore, veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) were applied in the intensive care unit. Biomarkers like cardiac troponin I (cTnI) subsequently decreased with improved cardiac insufficiency. Finally, the patient was discharged in good condition. This case demonstrated that TTS could be secondary to severe anaphylactic shock and exogenous catecholamines. With the consideration of the reversible condition and predictable recovery of TTS, early vigilance and advanced life support devices should be necessary.
