The Eisenmenger's syndrome is presented with an abnormal communication between the systemic and pulmonary circulations and a predominant right to left shunt caused by increased vascular resistance in the pulmonary circulation. We report a successful anesthetic management of a patient with the Eisenmenger's syndrome who underwent emergency cesarean section under general anesthesia.

The Eisenmenger's syndrome is presented with an abnormal communication between the systemic and pulmonary circulations and a predominant right to left shunt caused by increased vascular resistance in the pulmonary circulation. We report a successful anesthetic management of a patient with the Eisenmenger's syndrome who underwent emergency cesarean section under general anesthesia.
