Sumario:BACKGROUND: Reducing postoperative pain due to the thoracotomy incisions in patients undergoing transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation remains a challenge. METHODS: We introduced ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) in a patient with severe aortic insufficiency and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease before surgical intervention. RESULTS: The patient’s postoperative 1 h, 4 h, and 12 h resting visual analogue scale scores were 3, 1, and 1 without single injection of morphine or dezocine for rescue analgesia. CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound-guided SAPB could improve analgesia after transapical transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
