OCCLUSIVE THROMBO-AORTOPATHY AND PREGNANCY

JEYASUDHA .

Abstract


Takayasus arteritis (TA) is a well known yet rare form of large vessel vasculitis .Suppression of inflammation and preservation of vascular competence form the basis of the treatment. Though the haemodynamic status improves with pregnancy, hypertension and preeclampsia are maternal complications to be anticipated. The fetal complication most commonly seen is intra-uterine growth restriction. The  management of these women involve conception during  remission period , antenatal care provided by multidisciplinary team , continuation of low dose steroids during pregnancy, early detection and treatment of hypertension.
