Abstract
Lutembacher syndrome is a combination of congenital atrial septal defect with acquired mitral stenosis which poses a perioperative challenge to the anaesthesiologist. We herein describe a the case of a 28 year old lady with Lutembacher syndrome for whom an ASD closure, mitral valve replacement and tricuspid valve repair was performed with a minimally Invasive approach with fast-track cardiac anaesthesia.
Keywords: Lutembacher syndrome, minimally invasive cardiac surgery, fast-track cardiac anaesthesia.
