An Anesthetic Management of Takayasu Arteritis with Aortic Regurgitation in a Parturient Posted for Cesarean Section
Pregnant women with Takayasu arteritis may experience an array of complications. Careful patient evaluation, treatment of TA and its complications, formulating anesthetic plan are fundamental. The key issue for these individuals is maintaining perfusion. Regional anesthesia is a safe anesthetic treatment that offers thorough preanesthetic examination and close monitoring of neurological status and BP for cesarean sections in pregnant women with Takayasu arteritis. Avoiding hemodynamic alterations and maintaining organ perfusion during the perioperative period are the most crucial objectives. To avoid postoperative complications, the patient should be monitored in an intensive care unit.
