Resembling the morphology of Japanese polyp vessels, the classic form of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is characterized by the presence of systolic dysfunction of the mid-apical portion of the left ventricle associated with basal hyperkinesia. It is believed that this may be due to a higher density of β-adrenergic receptors in the context of the apical myocardium, which could explain the greater sensitivity of the apex to fluctuations in catecholamine levels.The syndrome is precipitated by significant emotional stress or acute severe pathologies, and it is increasingly diagnosed during the perioperative period. Indeed, surgery, induction of general anaesthesia and critical illness represent potential harmful trigger of stress cardiomyopathy. No universally accepted guidelines are currently available, and, generally, the treatment of TTS relies on health care personal experience and/or local practice. In our daily practice, anaesthesiologists can be asked to manage patients with the diagnosis of new-onset Takotsubo before elective surgery or an emergent surgery in a patient with a concomitant stress cardiomyopathy. Even more, stress cardiomyopathy can arise as a complication during the operation.In this paper, we aim to provide an overview of Takotsubo syndrome and to discuss how to manage Takotsubo during surgery and in anaesthesiologic special settings.

Is Routine Preoperative Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Prior to Bariatric Surgery Mandatory? Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of 10,685 Patients

Background This systematic review and meta-analysis searched, retrieved and synthesized the evidence as to whether preoperative esophagogastroduodenoscopy (p-EGD) should be routine before bariatric surgery (BS). Methods Databases searched for retrospective, prospective, and randomized (RCT) or quasi-RCT studies (01 January 2000–30 April 2019) of outcomes of routine p-EGD before BS. STROBE checklist assessed the quality of the studies. P-EGD findings were categorized: Group 0 (no abnormal findings); Group 1 (abnormal findings that do not necessitate changing the surgical approach or postponing surgery); Group 2 (abnormal findings that change the surgical approach or postpone surgery); and Group 3 (findings that signify absolute contraindications to surgery). We assessed data heterogeneity and publication bias. Random effect model was used. Results Twenty-five eligible studies were included (10,685 patients). Studies were heterogeneous, and there was publication bias. Group 0 comprised 5424 patients (56%, 95% CI: 45–67%); Group 1, 2064 patients (26%, 95% CI: 23–50%); Group 2, 1351 patients (16%, 95% CI: 11–21%); and Group 3 included 31 patients (0.4%, 95% CI: 0–1%). Conclusion For 82% of patients, routine p-EGD did not change surgical plan/ postpone surgery. For 16% of patients, p-EGD findings necessitated changing the surgical approach/ postponing surgery, but the proportion of postponements due to medical treatment of H Pylori as opposed to “necessary” substantial change in surgical approach is unclear. For 0.4% patients, p-EGD findings signified absolute contraindication to surgery. These findings invite a revisit to whether p-EGD should be routine before BS, and whether it is judicious to expose many obese patients to an invasive procedure that has potential risk and insufficient evidence of effectiveness. Further justification is required.
