Anaesthetic management for stenting of a thoracic aortic aneurysm presents specific challenges including graft placement, risk of aortic rupture, and the unfamiliar radiological theatre environment.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the specific anaesthetic challenges and considerations during stent graft repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms associated with coarctation.
Alerts anaesthetists to procedural risks in thoracic aortic stenting; case report leaves open standardized protocols for coarctation cases.
We present the anaesthetic management of a patient for stenting of a thoracic aortic aneurysm at the site of an aortic coarctation. The specific challenges to the anaesthetist for this case are outlined. These include the specific problems of placing the graft, the obvious risk of aortic rupture and the unfamiliar environment of the separate radiological theatre. The advantages and disadvantages to the anaesthetist of the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms with stents are briefly discussed.

Strachan et al. (2001) conducted a case report in Thoracic aortic aneurysm at the site of an aortic coarctation (n=1). Anaesthetic management for stenting was evaluated. Anaesthetic management for stenting of a thoracic aortic aneurysm presents specific challenges including graft placement, risk of aortic rupture, and the unfamiliar radiological theatre environment.
