Key result
Management of a parturient with Ebstein's anomaly, atrial septal defect, and Protein S deficiency undergoing caesarean section requires careful attention to perioperative hemodynamics.
Case Report (n=1)
Careful perioperative hemodynamic management is crucial for pregnant patients with Ebstein's anomaly and Protein S deficiency undergoing caesarean section.
Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital cardiac defect associated with both displacement and incompetence of the tricuspid valve. A patient with EA during pregnancy and anesthesia has potential for a variety of hemodynamic disturbances. The condition is commonly complicated by supraventricular tachycardias. We describe the management of a patient with this condition, atrial Septal defect (ASD) and also with history of Protein S deficiency undergoing caesarean section (C-section). This case illustrates the importance of careful attention to the preoperative findings, perioperative hemodynamic parameters and postoperative management.

A 2010 study conducted a case report in Ebstein's anomaly, atrial septal defect, and Protein S deficiency in pregnancy (n=1). Perioperative management during caesarean section was evaluated. Management of a parturient with Ebstein's anomaly, atrial septal defect, and Protein S deficiency undergoing caesarean section requires careful attention to perioperative hemodynamics.
