Severe aortic stenosis before non-cardiac surgery

A case on managing severe AS in patients scheduled for non-cardiac surgery.

Teaching points

  • Severe AS is an independent risk factor for perioperative haemodynamic instability.
  • Even preserved LVEF does not eliminate the risk associated with severe AS during anaesthesia.
  • Multidisciplinary discussion involving cardiology, anaesthesia, and surgery is recommended.

Apply this in practice
