Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a haemodynamic and pathophysiological condition defined as an increase in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) ≥ 25 mmHg at rest as assessed by right heart catheterization. We report a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension after repair of ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The purpose of this case was to discuss the perioperative management of a patient with severe pulmonary hypertension who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy which could provide a reference for the management of these patients in the perioperative period.
