AB  - Here, we report the case of a 55 year old male patient without significant 
      preexisting cardiovascular disease who received a deceased donor liver 
      transplant. Intraoperatively, the patient developed cardiogenic shock secondary 
      to stress-induced cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), which was 
      refractory to high-dose vasoactive, inotropic medical therapy. The patient was 
      successfully managed with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation 
      (VA-ECMO) for 7 days, with complete recovery of cardiac function and maintenance 
      of the hepatic graft. Given the anticipated need for only a short period of 
      support and the expectation of full myocardial recovery, such patients may 
      represent excellent candidates for the use of VA-ECMO.
