Abstract

A 65-year-old man with long-standing hypertension developed cardiogenic shock due to the onset of left ventricular outflow obstruction and severe mitral regurgitation after surgical repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm. This complication occurred in the early postoperative period and reversed immediately after treatment with intravenous verapamil.
