How would you do this case and what is your reasoning?
82 year old female comes to the Emergency department after fall and broke her hip, with history of HTN, DM, A fib on noac, Heart failure
Can slowly walk around prior to fall. Sleeps with multiple pillows at night
Procedure: hip replacement (per surgeon, case would take around 5 hours of surgical time)
EKG: A fib with PVCs, bundle branch block
TTE: RV dysfunction with severe dilation, severe TR with complete non coaptation of TR (2.2cm gap between anterior and septal leaflet), LV EF 55%, moderate AR, mild MR, moderate pericardial effusion. Positive Bubble Study
How would you proceed? Any more workup? Induction methods? If off anticoagulation for 5 days, spinal and if so what dosage?
