ABSTRACT
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is a rare cardiac presentation. It can be associated with severe complications such as hemodynamically significant ventricular septal defect and cardiac free wall rupture. In cases of mechanical complications, surgical repair is often indicated. Despite best medical and surgical efforts, patients with Takotsubo cardiomyopathy and mechanical complications carry significant mortality risk. Herein, we present an unusual presentation of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy that was associated with a mechanical complication. Although the patient underwent a successful surgical repair, she passed away from multiorgan failure during the postoperative period.
