Core Tip
Core Tip: Children with atrial septal defects bear substantially more than customary perioperative risk during orthotopic liver transplants. Although perioperative anesthesia management must reconcile individual cardiovascular constraints with proposed surgical plans, published reports offering necessary guidance are scarce. Herein, we address this complex scenario, focusing on issues of perioperative anesthesia management. Comprehensive preoperative cardiovascular assessments, with multidisciplinary input, may offer insights into structural cardiac pathophysiologic effects and transplant-related hemodynamic changes that impact new grafts. Active, effective hemodynamic monitoring and other measures are also essential during the perioperative period to ensure transplantation success and graft survival.
