Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare, chronic progressive pan-endarteritis involving the aorta and its main branches. Anesthesia for patients with TA is complicated by severe uncontrolled hypertension, end-organ dysfunction, stenosis of major blood vessels, and difficulties in monitoring arterial blood pressure. We present the successful anesthetic management of a 23-year-old woman having TA with bilateral subclavian and renal artery stenosis posted for emergency cesarean section by using the epidural volume extension technique, which offers the combined advantage of both spinal and epidural anesthesia and, at the same time, also avoids the need of sophisticated neurological monitors like EEG and transcranial Doppler.

Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is an extracardiac left to right shunt. It should be corrected at an early age, but some patients may survive into adult life even without repair. Anesthetic management for adult patients with PDA poses many challenges for the anesthesiologist due to alterations in the cardiopulmonary physiology. We report successful anesthesia management of a case of an adult patient of PDA with moderate pulmonary artery hypertension with infective endarteritis (two large mobile vegetations at the pulmonary end of the duct).

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a rare inflammatory vascular disease, which causes a chronic progressive pan-endarteritis involving the aorta and its main branches, leading to persistent and uncontrolled hypertension and symptoms related to ischemia such as claudication, visual disturbances, stroke and transient ischemic attack. Limited information is available concerning anaesthetic management. We present the successful anaesthetic management of a 55 years old woman with TA scheduled for mitral valve replacement, tricuspid valve annuloplasty and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The choice of anaesthetic technique took into consideration mainly the maintenance of blood pressure in the intraoperative and postoperative periods. According to our monitoring records, we can say that our choice enabled a safe and stable anaesthetic procedure.
