“…HTEA should be performed only by experienced clinicians. Among the more than 2600 patients in our institution who had thoracic epidural anesthesia in cardiac surgery over the last 10 years, there has been a zero incidence of severe complications associated with the epidural technique [Rubes 2005]. There also have been no instances of neurologic complications in the present study, but the limited number of patients does not allow a definitive conclusion.…”
