Abstract

We report a case of 50 years old female diagnosed with carcinoma of breast posted for modified radical mastectomy. Her comorbidities included ischemic heart disease with global ischemia on 2D echo. The surgery was successfully completed under thoracic paravertebral block. Regional techniques like paravertebral block are preferred modalities in high risk cases and gives good intraoperative conditions with adequate postoperative analgesia and with least hemodynamic alterations
