Abstract
Abstract
Background
Current guidelines for the peri-operative assessment and management are not sufficient to allow effective risk assessment and management of the patient with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease. Well-established risk stratification tools are not validated in this group. Additional, disease-specific risks require individualised, specialist, multidisciplinary management.
Case presentation
We present an illustrative clinical case of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease undergoing non-cardiac surgery. The case follows a 66-year-old male with pulmonary hypertension associated with an atrial septal defect underwent an elective hernia repair.
Conclusions
We discuss useful management strategies for minimising risk during the peri- and post-operative periods in this population.
