Applying the Suprainguinal Approach of Fascia Iliaca Compartment Block for Surgical Anesthesia in a Patient Undergoing Emergency Femoral Thrombectomy: A Case Report.

We present the first documented case of achieving surgical anesthesia for a vascular surgery using the suprainguinal approach of the fascia iliaca compartment block (SFICB), in a patient with severe comorbidities from the cardiovascular system. More specifically, a male elderly patient with a history of cardiac amyloidosis, severe aortic stenosis, and coronary artery disease, was in need of emergent thrombectomy due to acute lower limb ischemia. During the evaluation of this patient, general and neuraxial anesthesia were both considered.
