Key result
A successful anesthetic management technique was presented for a hemodialysis-dependent patient undergoing aortic valve replacement, addressing hemodynamic and electrolyte challenges.
Case Report (n=1)
Provides a successful approach to the complex anesthetic management of a hemodialysis-dependent patient undergoing aortic valve replacement.
May guide anesthetic planning in rare high-risk cases; leaves open need for prospective validation before broader adoption.
In the anesthetic management of a hemodialysis-dependent patient undergoing aorticvalve replacement, technical and pathophysiologic problems considered included: 1. The presence of an arteriovenous hemodialysis fistula. 2. Hemodynamic alterations associated with aortic insufficiency. 3. Choice of anesthetic agents, fluid, and electrolyte balance in the presence of renal failure. 4. Postoperative management of hypertension and hyperkalemia. While there are many possible approaches, the authors present one successful technic for consideration.
