Cardiogenic Shock in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Plus Apical Ballooning: Management With VA-ECMO and Myectomy.


ABSTRACT: A patient with known obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy developed worsening left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, severe mitral regurgitation, and apical ballooning leading to cardiogenic shock, a combination in which treatment of each component could worsen the others. Emergency veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, levosimendan, and noradrenaline transiently restored adequate systemic perfusion and gas exchange. Surgical myectomy offered a more definitive solution. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
