[Can Tako-tsubo syndrome be integrated into post-pneumonectomy syndrome?] / Le syndrome de Tako-tsubo : peut-il être intégré dans le cadre de syndrome post-pneumonectomie ?

INTRODUCTION: Tako-tsubo syndrome, or "left ventricular transitory apical balloon syndrome", is an acute coronary syndrome with normal coronary arteries. OBSERVATION: We report the case of a 50-year-old patient operated for a post-tuberculous destroyed lung, for which she had a left pneumonectomy. Six months later, she presented with chest pain complicated by cardiorespiratory arrest. The Tako-tsubo syndrome was retained after eliminating the other causes. CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of Tako-tsubo syndrome should be considered before the sudden occurrence of an acute coronary syndrome in the aftermath of stress or emotional shock.
