Abstract
A 32 year old parturient with a history of Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, who suffered from postpartum hemorrhage for which sulprostone was administered without any adverse events, is reported. Anesthetic considerations related to the management of patient with a history of Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, especially triggers that may cause a recurrence, are described.
