Key result
Supportive management successfully treats Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following emergency repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Why the study?
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm had not been previously described, and early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial due to its mimicry of acute myocardial infarction.
Population
An 82-year-old woman with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and no history of coronary artery disease

Noninvasive diagnosis may avoid angiography risks after ruptured AAA repair; leaves open generalizability beyond this single case.
Case Report (n=1)
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy can occur as a complication after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and may be diagnosed non-invasively in the acute setting to avoid bleeding risks associated with emergency coronary angiography.
Umeda et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (n=1). Repair of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm was evaluated on Clinical course and diagnosis of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. An 82-year-old woman successfully underwent noninvasive diagnosis and supportive management of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy following emergency repair of a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm.
