Abstract

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TSC) is characterised by a transient left ventricular dysfunction typically induced by stressful events, such as invasive procedures, in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease. However, to date, no cases of TSC developing during an interventional cardiology procedure have been described. In this article, we report a case of TSC occurring during the intraprocedural phase of a percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure, performed under general anaesthesia.
