Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with cardiogenic shock misdiagnosed as old MI, successfully treated with TAVR: a case report
The present case highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing TCM from ischaemic heart disease in elderly patients with severe AS and underscores the importance of prompt, multidisciplinary decision-making in managing cardiogenic shock. Furthermore, ECMO-supported TAVR may represent a viable life-saving option in selected high-risk patients.
