摘要
Here, we report the case of a 55 year old male patient without significant preexisting cardiovascular disease who received a deceased donor liver transplant. Intraoperatively, the patient developed cardiogenic shock secondary to stress-induced cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), which was refractory to high-dose vasoactive, inotropic medical therapy. The patient was successfully managed with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for 7 days, with complete recovery of cardiac function and maintenance of the hepatic graft. Given the anticipated need for only a short period of support and the expectation of full myocardial recovery, such patients may represent excellent candidates for the use of VA-ECMO.
