Abstract
This case presents highlights of the role of intraoperative echocardiography in the successful management of a 65-years-old male scheduled for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. The patient was presented with an abdominal aortic aneurysm with multiple comorbidities and recent myocardial infarction with post stenting hemopericardium, making the anesthetic management for the surgical intervention challenging. Intraoperative echocardiography played a crucial role in establishing decisions about the treatment and guiding therapy for ensuring a favorable outcome. This report emphasizes the significance of intraoperative echocardiography as a real time monitor of hemodynamics in enhancing patient’s safety and favorable clinical outcomes during high-risk surgical procedures.
