Abstract
The use of extradural block (EDB) in healthy parturients for normal delivery and operative procedures is now a widespread and established practice. However, clinical reports of its use in those parturients with severe cardiovascular disease are rare. Here we present two case reports of patients with severe cardiovascular disease delivered under EDB and discuss the merits of this method of anaesthetic management.Keywords
