Abstract:
A 42-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and rheumatic mitral stenosis underwent mitral valve replacement. Prior intravascular fluid administration and infusion of dopamine and dobutamine stabilized hemodynamics during the induction of anesthesia. High-dose fentanyl at pre-cardiopulmonary bypass period and circulatory assist with milrinone and intraaortic balloon pumping after the bypass enabled us to obtain stable hemodynamics. Preoperative dobutamine stress test provided us the effective information for circulatory management in this patient.
