Abstract
The prevalence of significant coronary artery disease re-enforces the importance of careful preoperative and intraoperative management in pa tients undergoing lower extremity revascularization. This article pres ents a practical approach toward the evaluation of anesthetic risk and the proper use of anesthetic agents and monitoring devices to minimiz e morbidity. The role of general and regional anesthetic agents is dis cussed, and complications of both techniques are presented.
