Abstract:
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy describes a sudden onset cardiomyopathy with acute impairment of left ventricular function and spontaneous resolution over time. Only a few cases of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in childhood have been described. We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with repaired tetralogy of Fallot who experienced acute onset of left ventricular dysfunction without coronary arterial involvement, suggesting Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, during an interventional catheterization procedure. Cardiogenic shock necessitated mechanical circulatory support with extracorporeal membrane oxygenator for ten days and mechanical ventilation for 12 days. The girl recovered without sequelae. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation was performed four months later without complications. Unusual aspects of this case include the use of mechanical circulatory support during the recovery phase of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a patient with congenital heart disease.
