Key result
Total arch replacement highlights Takotsubo cardiomyopathy as a differential diagnosis for intraoperative LV dysfunction.
Why the study?
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare cause of ST elevation during perioperative cardiac and great vessel surgery that requires recognition for appropriate management.
Case Report (n=1)
No
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis when ST elevation occurs during cardiovascular surgery, especially if right ventricular wall motion remains normal.
Supports considering Takotsubo cardiomyopathy in perioperative ST-elevation differentials; hypothesis-generating and leaves open prospective validation.

Hayashida et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (n=1). Total arch replacement was evaluated. A 71-year-old man developed Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with ST elevation during total arch replacement, highlighting it as a differential diagnosis for left ventricular dysfunction.
