Abstract

Ebstein's anomaly is an uncommon congenital heart defect with an extremely variable natural history due to a wide spectrum of pathological features. We report on the anesthetic management of a 24-year-old primigravida woman with Ebstein's anomaly with recurrent supraventricular tachycardia for emergency cesarean section.

Keywords: Ebstein's anomaly; arrhythmias; cesarean section; epidural anesthesia; supraventricular tachycardia.
