Recovery of heart function during support with durable LVAD is uncommon, and there are few reports of cases that address the issue of eliminating the LVAD without the need for a heart transplant. Radical surgical removal of the LVAD may cause distortion of left ventricular cavity and thus affect its function, in addition to the associated risks of the operation. Innovative ways to de-activate the LVAD, relying mainly on implantation of vascular plugs in the outflow graft have been used. Few reports have shown the success of this method. In this case report, we review the story of a young patient with advanced heart failure, who underwent LVAD implantation, and after 6-month, there was a dramatic improvement of heart function that enabled successful de-activation of the device.

Background: Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is an uncommon cause of acute reversible ventricular systolic dysfunction in the absence of obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Typically manifesting as apical wall ballooning, TTC can rarely present atypically with apical wall sparing. Case report: A 62-year-old female presented with complaints of chest pain and features mimicking acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiogram revealed no obstructive CAD and left ventriculogram showed reduced ejection fraction, normal left ventricular apex and hypokinetic mid-ventricles consistent with atypical TTC. The patient was discharged home on heart failure medications and a follow-up transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated improved left ventricular function with no wall motion abnormality. Conclusion: This case report provides an insight into the diagnosis and management of TTC in the absence of pathognomic features.
