Anaesthetic peripheral nerve blocks for a total knee replacement revision due to infection in a patient with symptomatic chronic coronary syndrome: A case report
This report aims to describe the perioperative management of a high-risk cardiovascular patient proposed for urgent total knee replacement revision. We discuss the use of peripheral nerve blocks and its impact on haemodynamic stability and clinical outcomes, including major cardiovascular adverse events and myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery.
