Hemodynamic alterations associated with aortic insufficiency. Choice of anesthetic agents, fluid, and electrolyte balance in the presence of renal failure. Postoperative management of hypertension and hyperkalemia. While there are many possible approaches, the authors present one successful technic for consideration.Keywords
