Abstract

With the modification in surgical techniques and advancement in medical sciences, the survival rate of patients with complex cardiac abnormalities has increased to more than 90% in about 10 years after Fontan palliation. These patients can present with some form of non-cardiac surgeries during their lifetime. Better understanding of Fontan physiology can help in proper perioperative anesthetic management of these patients. Our cases was of a 17-year-old female patient with Fontan physiology for her Ebstein's Anomaly, planned for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Here we describe how we successfully managed the case perioperatively.
