Resumen
OLABARRIETA-ZARAIN, Unai et al. Anesthetic management of a child with Loeys-Dietz syndrome undergoing complete aortic arch replacement. Cir. cir. [online]. 2023, vol.91, n.4, pp.576-580. Epub 30-Oct-2023. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.21000786.
Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) is a connective tissue disease related to β-transforming growth factor mutations, which causes aneurysms formation, vascular tortuosity and skeletal manifestations. The prognosis is very poor, and mortality occurs at the age of 27 in patients without surgical treatment. Despite being diagnosed in childhood, is not usual surgical aortic replacement in children. We report a case of 12 years old child with LDS and multiple aneurysms in thoracic aorta, undergoing complete aortic arch replacement and our proposal for the anesthetic management, due to surgical complexity and implications in pediatric population.
