Takotsubo syndrome following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), characterized by transient wall motion aberrations and clinical manifestations akin to acute coronary syndrome, predominantly arises from significant physical or emotional stress, often throughout the perioperative period. The prevalence and mechanisms of this condition remain inadequately elucidated, particularly in the context of transcatheter valvular disease procedures. This knowledge gap may result in under-recognition and subsequent delays in diagnosis.

Case summary

A 76-year-old female was scheduled in our department for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER). Despite the procedural success, multi-lead T-wave inversions and a 43% decrease in ejection fraction accompanied by new apical hypokinesis were noted postoperatively
