Abstract

Central neuraxial blocks are contraindicated in patient with aortic stenosis. We report one patient with severe aortic stenosis posted for lower limb surgery. Combined sciatic and femoral nerve block was used as a sole anesthetic technique. Patient was hemodynamically stable in intraoperative as well as in postoperative period. Patient had good postoperative analgesia for 12 hrs. Postoperatively the patient was referred to the cardiologist for further management.

Keywords: Sciatico femoral block, Aortic stenosis, Hemodynamic stability.
