Abstract
Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare, chronic, inammatory, progressive, idiopathic arteriopathy, aficting young women of reproductive age group, causing narrowing, occlusion, and aneurysms of systemic and pulmonary arteries, especially the aorta and its branches. During pregnancy, such patients warrant special attention. We report here with anesthetic management of a primigravida of 37 week gestation, who suffered from TA scheduled for elective cesarean section by general anaesthesia. The intraoperative period was uneventful. The patient was stable in the postoperative period and was shifted to ward after being monitored in the intensive care unit for 24 h.
