Abstract

Physiological changes in the cardiovascular system during pregnancy present unique problems to the parturient with underlying heart disease. Anesthetic management for cesarean delivery in parturient with subaortic stenosis and pulmonary hypertension is a challenging task. Both general and regional anesthesia has been used and both have significant risks. In this report we describe the anesthetic management of a parturient having calcified subaortic membrane with pulmonary hypertension requiring elective cesarean delivery under general anesthesia.
