- Abstract
This report presents the first known documented case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, characterized by transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction after a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure. A 59-year-old woman with decompensated cirrhosis underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt procedure with subsequent new-onset heart failure without previous diagnostic evidence of underlying cardiovascular disease, including cirrhotic cardiomyopathy. After 2 weeks of medical management with b-blockade and diuretics, the patient had recovery of a left ventricular ejection fraction.
