Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Treatment of Acute Inverted Takotsubo-Like Cardiomyopathy From Hemorrhagic Pheochromocytoma in Late Pregnancy.
A & A Case Reports 2016 November 2
We describe the first case of a pregnant woman presenting with an acute inverted takotsubo-like cardiomyopathy caused by a postpartum diagnosed hemorrhagic pheochromocytoma, successfully treated with percutaneous venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (va-ECMO). During admission, an emergency cesarean delivery had to be performed. The fetus needed resuscitation for 5 minutes. The mother was successfully resuscitated and treated with percutaneous va-ECMO for 7 days. Despite advances in diagnostic techniques during the past decade, in many cases, pheochromocytoma in pregnancy is still missed. This results in a maternal and fetal mortality rate of up to 30% in both.
