Cardiogenic Shock Secondary to Dynamic Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction and Apical Ballooning after Nonmitral Cardiovascular Surgery

<div>The echocardiogram performed on 4<sup>th</sup> day postoperatively showed complete relief of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. (a) No SAM was seen on the three-chamber view. (b) No flow acceleration nor mitral regurgitation on the three-chamber view with color mapping. (c) Patent LVOT and regular LV shape. (d) No flow acceleration nor mitral regurgitation on the five-chamber view with color mapping. The Supplement video 3 and Supplement video 4 provide a better appreciation of normal LV shape, good LV contraction, and patent LVOT.</div>
