Anesthesia for Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation: A Case Series.

CONCLUSIONS: Patients undergoing TPVR represent a complex and heterogeneous population. General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is preferred. Setup for urgent lung isolation and cardiac defibrillation should be considered. Postoperative monitoring and intensive care setting are required. Anesthesiologists with cardiac anesthesia training are probably better suited to manage these patients.
