REYES O, Luis E; MUNOZ, Luis  and  MALDONADO, Carlos Enrique. Pulmonary embolectomy and cardiopulmonary bypass during pregnancy. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2013, vol.41, n.2, pp.166-170. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rca.2013.03.003.

Cardiac surgery with extracorporeal circulation in obstetric patients is a separate chapter because of the physiological changes brought about by pregnancy and factors such as anesthetic management, monitoring and perfusion during the cardiopulmonary bypass that affects both the mother and the child; both experience different circumstances and have dissimilar interests. The paper discusses the anesthetic management of a patient in her 26.2weeks of gestation with a pulmonary thromboembolism and atrial intracavitary thrombus attached to the central catheter with atrial septal defect.

Keywords : Extracorporeal circulation; Thoracic surgery; Anesthesia; Pregnancy.
