Core Tip

Core Tip: Monitored anesthesia care (MAC) is often used during minor procedures in patients with cardiac disease. However, there are few reports on MAC in patients with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES). We report a case of MAC using dexmedetomidine and remifentanil for craniotomy in a patient with ES.
