Key result
Anaesthesia management involving one lung ventilation and pacemaker-ICD coordination was described for a patient with long QT syndrome and cardiomyopathy undergoing thoracic sympathectomy.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the complex anaesthesia management required for thoracic sympathectomy in a patient with long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy, and pulmonary hypertension.
Case experience in LQTS with comorbidities leaves open standardized protocols pending prospective data.
Long QT syndrome is a congenital disorder that is characterized by a prolongation of the QT interval on electrocardiograms and a propensity to ventricular tachyarrhythmias, which may lead to syncope, cardiac arrest or sudden death. Cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension diseases have additional risks in anaesthesia management. In this study, we emphasize on one lung ventilation, pacemaker-implantable cardioverter-defibrillator and the anaesthesia management process in a patient with long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy and pulmonary hypertension who underwent thoracic sympathectomy.

Karadeniz et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Long QT syndrome, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension (n=1). Anaesthesia management (one lung ventilation, pacemaker-ICD coordination) was evaluated. Anaesthesia management involving one lung ventilation and pacemaker-ICD coordination was described for a patient with long QT syndrome and cardiomyopathy undergoing thoracic sympathectomy.
