Anesthetic management of abdominal delivery in a pregnant with Takayasu’s disease

Abstract

Nonspecific aortoarteriitis (Takayasu’s disease) is a rare inflammatory disease of the arteries that affects women of childbearing age. Many authors have reported adverse effects in the mother and fetus during pregnancy. We report a case of operative delivery 41-year-old women having a third pregnancy, which was diagnosed nonspecific aortoarteriitis at the age of 12. Our patient was observed high blood pressure. The disease was characterized by a stable course and was well controlled by taking glucocorticoids. The article discusses the question of the choice of anesthesia.
