Inverted takotsubo syndrome complicated with cardiogenic shock requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with bilateral pheochromocytoma: a case report.

Takotsubo syndrome patients presenting with CS are challenging and clinicians should be aware of underlying causes. Specific triggers such as pheochromocytoma should systematically be considered particularly if ITS was presented. Extracorporeal life support devices could provide temporary mechanical circulatory support in patients with TS on refractory CS and help to manage complex cases with TS due to pheochromocytoma.
