We present a case report of the anaesthetic management of a 77-year-old man requiring endovascular thoracic stent graft repair. The patient had a history of poorly controlled type II diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Chest X-ray and CT scan shoowed a right pleural effusion, generalized emphysema and an enlarged thyroid extending into the upper mediastinum, compromising the tracheal lumen. Endovascular stent grat repair was successfully performed under epidural anaesthesia and intravenous sedation.

Abstract
We present a case report of the anaesthetic management of a 77-year-old man requiring endovascular thoracic stent graft repair. The patient had a history of poorly controlled type II diabetes mellitus and chronic renal failure. Chest X-ray and CT scan shoowed a right pleural effusion, generalized emphysema and an enlarged thyroid extending into the upper mediastinum, compromising the tracheal lumen. Endovascular stent grat repair was successfully performed under epidural anaesthesia and intravenous sedation.File in questo prodotto:
