ABSTRACT
RATIONALE Anesthesia management of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has always been a challenge for anesthesiologists. Eighty percent of patients with DCM have heart failure as the first symptom, which may be accompanied by arrhythmias, thromboembolism, etc. Thrombosis is a significant contributing factor to adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, and its risk is severely underestimated in the anesthetic management of DCM. PATIENT CONCERNS We present a case of a 54-year-old hypersensitive female patient with dilated cardiomyopathy and purpura who underwent an interventional thrombectomy under general anesthesia following a lower limb thromboembolism. DIAGNOSIS Patient underwent an interventional thrombectomy under general anesthesia, with in situ thrombosis occurring during the surgery. INTERVENTIONS:
After maintaining stable hemodynamics, proceed with the intervention to retrieve the embolus.OUTCOME:
Patients in the advanced DCM developed acute thrombosis twice during embolization. LESSONS This case discusses the causes of intraoperative thrombosis and summarizes and reflects on the anesthesia management of this case, which has always been one of the difficult points for anesthesiologists to master. In the anesthesia management of DCM patients, it is also necessary to maintain hemodynamic stability, enhance perioperative coagulation management, use anticoagulants rationally, and avoid the occurrence of thrombotic events.
