Anesthetic management of a patient undergoing liver transplantation who had previous coronary artery bypass grafting using an in situ right gastroepiploic artery.
Journal of Anesthesia 2010 April
We describe successful anesthetic management during living-donor liver transplantation in a 63-year-old man with previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) that employed an in situ right gastroepiploic artery (RGEA). Anesthesia was maintained with 1.5% isoflurane in air/oxygen and fentanyl. A five-lead electrocardiogram, transesophageal echocardiogram, and pacing pulmonary artery catheter evaluated cardiac function. A pacing wire was inserted through the catheter to prepare for intraoperative severe bradyarrhythmia. Olprinone and nicorandil were continuously infused to prevent decrease in coronary arterial blood flow and the collapse of cardiac function. Avoiding disruption of circulation to coronary arteries through injury or spasm of the RGEA graft and preparing for cardiac insufficiency during liver transplantation of a patient with previous CABG using an in situ RGEA is critical.
