[Anesthesia of a patient with recent cardiac infarct for the implantation of a bifurcated aorto-femoral prosthesis. Case report].
The case of 44-year old patient anaesthetized in an emergency course of action for implantation of a bifurcated aorto-femoral prosthesis (Leriche syndrome), with an accompanying acute rest pain in both lower limbs. Three months earlier patient experienced a cardiac infarct complicated by cardiogenic shock and circulatory arrest. Described case proves that: cooperation of an anesthesiologist, cardiologist and surgeon during preparation for surgery on the abdominal aorta in a patient with previous myocardial infarct, selection of an anesthetic as well as postoperative treatment in the intensive care unit, reduce risk of postoperative cardiologic complications.
