N2 - A multidisciplinary approach to the preterm delivery of a preeclamptic parturient with severe left ventricular (LV) noncompaction and pulmonary hypertension using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) as a monitor of hemodynamic status in lieu of a pulmonary artery catheter during general anesthesia for Cesarean section is presented. This case adds to the available literature on LV noncompaction with pulmonary hypertension in preeclamptic parturients, and addresses the anesthetic concerns and approaches to management using echocardiography in these highly complex patients.
