Anesthetic Management in a Patient with Ebstein Anomaly

Abstract

Saxena KN, Mandal A and Wadhwa B

Ebstein’s anomaly is a rare complex congenital heart disorder with malformation of the tricuspid valve and right ventricle associated with right to left shunt. The disease severity can range from asymptomatic patients to severe debilitated disease. We discuss the anesthetic management of a young female aged 22 years with Ebstein’s anomaly who successfully underwent cystogastomy under general anesthesia. Anesthesia in these patients is fraught with complications and high degree of morbidity and mortality.
