| Summary: | Atrial Septal Defects (ASD) is among the most frequent congenital heart defects, commonly seen in children. Such defects also carry risks like pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, and failure on the right-side of the heart that require surgical intervention. Though the most prominent conventional procedure used was open-heart surgery, ASD closure through minimal invasive techniques is gradually favoured in recent times. The benefits include shorter recovery times, smaller incisions, and less complications. This is a case report on the anaesthetic management of a nine-year-old child who underwent minimally invasive closure of an ASD. The child had a large ASD, with signs and symptoms such as recurrent respiratory infections and intolerance to exercise. Management strategy for anaesthesia comprised One-Lung Ventilation (OLV) modality, using embolectomy catheter followed by ultrasound guided techniques for vascular access, and epidural analgesia. These techniques provided control over the perioperative period, and promoted quick recovery after the procedure. |
