Abstract:
The prevalence of significant coronary artery disease re-enforces the importance of careful preoperative and intraoperative management in patients undergoing lower extremity revascularization. This article presents a practical approach toward the evaluation of anesthetic risk and the proper use of anesthetic agents and monitoring devices to minimize morbidity. The role of general and regional anesthetic agents is discussed, and complications of both techniques are presented.
