Abstract

The incidence of Takayasu arteritis (TA) is approximately one in 200,000. The prevalence of this disease is higher among Asian women under the age of 30. Most pregnant women with mild TA receive spinal anesthesia for cesarean sections. Despite difficulties in measuring blood pressure, the entire surgical process, including the administering of anesthesia, is generally stable. Studies in this area are rare. The authors report a case of a pregnant woman with TA who received anesthesia for a cesarean section and then suffered for heart failure, metabolic acidosis, and postoperative multiple organ failure. The authors hope to contribute to the clinical studies on the subject of anesthesia for pregnant women with TA.
