The induction of anaesthesia is one of the most critical situations for high-risk-patients undergoing interventions surgery. For several reasons, it is crucial to maintain adequate blood pressure and cardiac output during this phase. This retrospective cohort study aims to find out if the choice of the induction agent has a major impact on blood pressure and the use of catecholamines during the induction and the interventional procedure in patients undergoing interventional mitral valve repair.
