Why the study?
Patients with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm presenting for non-cardiac surgery are rare, requiring anaesthesiologists to understand the pathophysiology, complications, and anaesthetic challenges.
Careful anaesthesia management focusing on hemodynamic stability is crucial for patients with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm undergoing non-cardiac surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Cautious hemodynamic management may be feasible in LV pseudoaneurysm patients for noncardiac surgery; leaves open need for prospective data.
Patients with Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm posted for noncardiac surgery is rare. Anaesthesiologists should know the pathophysiology, complications and anaesthesia challenges in these patients to manage the case. Here, we managed an elderly patient with a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm posted for ileostomy closure. The primary goals are to maintain hemodynamic stability, avoid excessive stress on the myocardium, and prevent any further injury to the affected region of the heart.
