Patent vertical vein device closure: Peri procedural anesthetic management

Abstract

We present the peri-procedural anesthetic management in a case of transcatheter closure of an unligated patent vertical vein (VV) in a 2-year-old male child operated case of obstructed supra cardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) who presented with significant left to right shunt causing symptoms of right heart failure. The procedure was carried out successfully under deep sedation and monitored anesthesia care (MAC) and had some specific clinical implications from the anesthetic management perspective which are highlighted and discussed in this report.
