Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a child with a single ventricle following transcatheter coil embolisation of minor aortopulmonary collateral arteries

Key Result

Coil embolisation of collateral arteries triggered Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a 2-year-old boy with a single right ventricle, who subsequently underwent successful Fontan completion.

Key Points

• To examine the occurrence of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in a pediatric patient with single ventricle anatomy after a specific intervention.
• Reported case of a 2-year-old boy with single right ventricle post-bidirectional Glenn surgery.
• Described the sequence of events leading to Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following coil embolisation.
• Noted subsequent successful Fontan completion.
• The child developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy post-embolisation.
• Successful completion of the Fontan procedure was achieved after the cardiomyopathy episode.
