Abstract
This case report describes an episode of postoperative myocardial ischaemia after total oesophagectomy that was successfully treated by extradural administration of local anaesthetic. Extension of sympathetic blockade in this manner resolved the myocardial ischaemia and haemodynamic disturbances experienced by the patient.
