Key result
Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support successfully rescued a patient with intractable cardiogenic shock due to catecholamine cardiomyopathy with an inverted Takotsubo pattern caused by a paraganglioma.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Early use of percutaneous cardiopulmonary support can successfully rescue patients with catecholamine crisis and atypical Takotsubo cardiomyopathy who develop cardiogenic shock refractory to conventional medical therapy and intra-aortic balloon pump.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support early percutaneous support in refractory catecholamine shock; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
Kim et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Catecholamine cardiomyopathy associated with paraganglioma (n=1). Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) was evaluated on Clinical recovery and normalization of cardiac function. Percutaneous cardiopulmonary support successfully rescued a patient with intractable cardiogenic shock due to catecholamine cardiomyopathy with an inverted Takotsubo pattern caused by a paraganglioma.
