Xenon anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
There are few reports on anaesthesia for patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome requiring non-cardiac surgery and none of the use of xenon. We describe the use of xenon with a closed-circuit system in a patient with Eisenmenger's syndrome having a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
