Case Report (n=1)
This case report provides a reference for the perioperative management of patients with severe pulmonary hypertension undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Highlights perioperative risks in severe post-VSD PH; hypothesis-generating for laparoscopic cholecystectomy protocols.
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a haemodynamic and pathophysiological condition defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) ≥ 25 mmHg at rest as assessed by right heart catheterization. We report a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension after repair of ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of this case was to discuss the perioperative management of a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy which could provide a reference for the management of these patients in the perioperative period.
