Anesthetic considerations of an emergency decompressive craniotomy complicated with Ebstein's anomaly and atrial septal defect / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

Despite considerable published papers regarding Ebstein's anomaly (EA) patients receiving open-heart tricuspid valve replacement, non-cardiac emergency surgeries were rarely reported. We report a case of emergency decompressive craniotomy in a patient with EA. Anesthesiologists should pay special attention to the complications and anesthetic management during the non-cardiac surgeries performed in EA patients.
