Background and objectives: Acromegaly is endocri­nal disorder which results in changes involving ge­neral appearance as well as upper airway abnorma­lities, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders which can aggravate the anesthesia and can lead to compli­cations. We aim to discuss the challenges for anesthe­siologist that occurs facing patient with acromegaly and are necessary to investigate before performing any kind of intervention. Case Presentation: 79 years old male patient presen­ted the hospital with recently diagnosed acromegaly for rectal prolapse surgery. From anamnesis he had NYHAIII with cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation and arterial hypertension, also multiple old compressive fractures Th10 – L5. He was graded with Mallam­pati score IV and ASA class IV. The complemen­tary examinations were made to assess the possible complications. In induction of general anesthesia the intubation was performed using fibro- bronchoscope and anesthesia went without complications except hypotension which was managed. After surgery the patient was leaded to the postoperative room for furt­her monitoring. Discussion and Conclusion: Acromegalic patients have an increased risk of difficulty during anesthe­sia compared to general population due to difficult intubation, cardiovascular complications , OSA , alte­ration in intraoperative glucose intolerance and fluid regulation. Therefore profound investigation and as­sessment are necessary to predict and prepare for possible difficulties in the surgery room.

Abstract Background Antegradely conducting left lateral accessory pathways are a risk for supraventricular tachycardias and pre-excited atrial fibrillation. Rarely, an anomalous coronary sinus can cause difficulty in locating the pathway. The left circumflex coronary artery and obtuse marginal branches supply the posterolateral left ventricle. We describe a case report of a high-risk accessory pathway associated with an anomalous coronary sinus which, between successive electrophysiology studies, was obliterated by a felicitous acute coronary syndrome in the left circumflex territory. Case summary A 49-year-old male with palpitations and manifest pre-excitation was referred for electrophysiology study. Initial study revealed a high-risk left lateral accessory pathway with antegrade effective refractory period of 240 ms and rapidly conducting pre-excited atrial fibrillation. The coronary sinus could not be cannulated to localize the pathway. Coronary angiography and cardiac computed tomography showed an anomalous coronary sinus emptying into the right atrial free wall and patent coronaries. While awaiting repeat electrophysiology study, the patient suffered an acute coronary syndrome with immediate loss of previously visible pre-excitation on electrocardiogram, and underwent stenting of an occluded marginal branch of the circumflex. Repeat electrophysiology study demonstrated a now low-risk accessory pathway (effective refractory period 390 ms). Since infarction, the patient’s palpitations have fully settled with all subsequent electrocardiograms devoid of manifest pre-excitation. Discussion Left lateral accessory pathways, which can associate with an anomalous coronary sinus, derive from tissue similar to normal ventricular myocardium and are vulnerable to ischaemic insults in the area subtended by the circumflex artery.
