Presentation Transcript

  1. MitraClip — Anesthetic Considerations • General anesthesia seems to predominate, but sedation can be done • Standard monitors plus radial (or femoral) arterial line • We like central access (can be via femoral vein) • Mitral regurgitation (MR) physiology: Emphasis on afterload reduction, avoid bradycardia • Volatile agents good as tolerated. Consider remifentanil infusion. Neuromuscular blockers to facilitate apnea. • Intubate vs. LMA – TEE if pulmonary edema is suspected • High-risk candidates are very sick (octogenarian with 4+ MR and left ventricular ejection fraction ≈ 20)
