| Abstract |
|
Takayasu Arteritis is a systemic disease of unknown cause characterized by occlusion of the thoracic and aMominal aorta and its branches. Although it is typically a disease of young oriental women, the disease is occasionally reported in other groups. A 29-year-old pregnant woman was admitted for emergency cesarean section. Anethesia was induced with thiopental and succinylcholine and maintained with vecuronium-nitrous oxide-oxygen. After delivery, anesthesia was supplemented with fentanyl and droperidol.
After delivery we couldnt detect radial arterial blood pressure in both side. Our experience would provide basic information regarding possible emergency surgery for patients with this intractable disease. |
