Abstract
COVID-19 outbreak, which started in Wuhan, China and spread rapidly all over the world, has become the most important cause of the emotional distress for susceptible people. Because the people also remained in fear and anxiety during the period when the elderly population in the whole country was desperate due to the COVID-19 outbreak and was asked to stay at home in fear of death. In addition, the fact that the patients were hospitalized together with COVID-19 patients caused his psychological distress to be experienced even more. Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS) is known as a distress-induced transient left ventricular dysfunction. In our patient with TTS, it was found that a new apical thrombus, which was not seen in the left ventricle, was seen in previous echo and CT exams, and that it was a source of thromboemboli, by stress triggering neurocardiac reactions. While under the medical treatment of viral pneumonia, under the Coronavirus transmission measures, thrombus in the LV was removed by being taken to the emergency open heart surgery. Our case is the first patient in the literature where a new thrombus developed in the LV and splenic infarction in TTS triggered by the pandemic. In this article; We have presented the experience of TTS triggered by pandemic, etiopathogenesis of left ventricular thrombus, open heart surgery indications when COVID-19 is suspected, coronavirus transmission measures in the surgical approach, the postoperative treatment and literature is reviewed.
