Abstract

The vascular surgery patient is generally a polypathological patient. For this reason, at the Getafe hospital we perform the anesthetic technique that interferes the least with their pathologies and affects their comorbidity to a lesser extent.

For this reason, the anesthetic technique of choice for lower limb revascularization is neuraxial anesthesia or local anesthesia, combined with sedation to make the patient more comfortable, whenever possible.
