Sedación para recambio valvular transcatéter de una válvula pulmonar Melody®: informe de caso

The ideal anesthetic technique for pulmonary transcatheter valve replacement is controversial. There is a discussion between general anesthesia and deep sedation. Each case must be decided after careful preoperative evaluation, considering the risk/benefit and patient cooperation. The experience at our center using deep sedation is promising, but we have an alternative plan to convert to general anesthesia if it's necessary.
