Abstract
In modern adult anaesthetic practice uncorrected complex congenital heart lesions are rare. Persistent truncus arteriosus accounts for only 1.2-3% of all congenital heart malformations. If not corrected, fewer than 20% of these patients survive the first year of life. Here we report the successful management of an adult patient with uncorrected truncus arteriosus who presented for hip arthroplasty.
