Abstract :
Patients with valvular heart diseases are a
challenge to anesthesiologists. A complete understanding
of pathophysiology of valvular lesions is necessary for
planning anesthesia and perioperative management for
such patients. Here, we report successful anaesthetic
management of a 36year old patient with previously
diagnosed Rheumatic valvular heart disease (severe
mitral stenosis with aortic stenosis) undergoing right
sided inguinal mesh hernioplasty.
In such patients, Ilioinguinal and Iliohypogastric
nerve block offer an excellent alternative to neuraxial
blockade and general anaesthesia.
