Abstract
A case history in which a patient suffering from long-term diabetes mellitus underwent vascular surgery of a lower extremity is presented. Anaesthesia was commenced with an epidural anaesthesia, but due to insufficient analgesia combined with a high thoracal block general anaesthesia was added. The course was complicated because of cardiomyopathy, autonomic neuropathy, difficult laryngoscopy, aspiration of gastric content, and acute renal failure. Anaesthetic implications of long-term diabetes mellitus are discussed.
