title: Anesthetic management for transurethral resection of the bladder in a 74-year-old man with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot.
abstract: We report a case of general anesthesia for transurethral resection of the bladder in a 74-year-old male patient with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot. This case illustrates the pertinent pathophysiology of the complex cardiac lesion related to tetralogy of Fallot as well as the feasibility and issues with regard to the anesthetic management.
