Abstract |
A 79-year-old man with aortic stenosis (AS) was scheduled for right middle lobectomy under general anesthesia. AS is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiac complications after noncardiac surgery. Anesthetic management adjusting left ventricular preload and coload, and keeping sinus rhythm was successful with no complications. But after moving back to the intensive care unit after surgery, ECG showed paroxysmal complete atrioventricular blocks and we inserted a temporary transvenous pacemaker catheter. We should be very careful with not only the anesthetic but also perioperative management of AS patient.
