Anesthetic Management of Caesarean Section in a Patient with Verapamil Sensitive Ventricular Tachycardia after Catheter Ablation.

A 32-year-old pregnant woman with verapamil sensitive ventricular tachycardia underwent elective caesarean section. She received catheter ablation for frequent tachycardia, but ventricular tachycardia appeared. In the operating room, a defibrillator pad was placed on her chest for external defibrillation, with A-line in a left radial artery. General anesthesia was started with rapid sequence induction. The anesthetic course was uneventful, and the infant showed no complication during the perioperative period. General anesthesia can be considered as safe anesthetic management for caesarean section in a patient with verapamil sensitive ventricular tachycardia.
