Echocardiographic Evolution of PosteroLateral Left Ventricular Aneurysm with Normal Coronary Arteries in Patient Recently COVID-19 Vaccinated: A Complicated Atypical Case of Takotsubo Syndrome Vaccine-related?

: A 72-year-old woman, recently COVID-19 vaccinated with a third dose, was referred to our center for acute chest pain and dyspnea. On admission, the electrocardiography showed a STEMI on inferior derivations and the dyskinesia of the inferior wall was found at the first transthoracic echocardiogram. The coronary angiography did not show coronary artery disease. After 1 week, a huge posterolateral left ventricular (LV) aneurysm with initial signs of rupture was found and the patient underwent a Dor's procedure to exclude the LV aneurysm. As far as we know, this is the first reported case of Takotsubo following the COVID-19 vaccination requiring cardiac surgery.
