Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare cardiac presentation. It can be associated with severe complications such as hemodynamically significant ventricular septal defect and cardiac free wall rupture. In cases of mechanical complications, surgical repair is often indicated. Despite best medical and surgical efforts, patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and mechanical complications carry significant mortality risk. Herein, we present an unusual presentation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that was associated with a mechanical complication. Although the patient underwent a successful surgical repair, she passed away from multiorgan failure during the postoperative period.
心尖球囊样综合征是一种罕见的心脏表现形式。它可与严重并发症相关，如血流动力学显著的室间隔缺损和心壁游离破裂。在发生机械性并发症的情况下，通常需要手术修复。尽管进行了最佳的医疗和手术治疗，但患有心尖球囊样综合征和机械性并发症的患者仍存在显著的死亡风险。在此，我们提出了一种不常见的心尖球囊样综合征表现形式，其与机械性并发症相关。尽管患者成功地进行了手术修复，但她在术后期间因多器官衰竭而去世。
