Abstract
A 68-yr-old hypertensive patient with ischemic heart disease and intractable atrial fibrillation with stable hemodynamics and poor chest compliance underwent pleomorphic adenoma of the parotid gland using regional anesthesia with continuous propofol sedation. Continuous maxillary and mandibular nerve blocks were performed and excision was performed with complete intraoperative and postoperative pain relief without compromising the patient's hemodynamic variables.
