Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) is a constellation of multi-system abnormalities and each problem has significant anaesthetic implications. These patients pose various challenge to anesthesiologists like unanticipated difficult airway, uncorrected cardiac lesions, etc. Anesthetic for cochlear implant in child with CRS has not been reported. Anaesthetic management in an infant with PS should be based on decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), avoidance of tachycardia with sinus rhythm, myocardial depression, systemic hypotension and adequate intra vascular volume. Here we report the anaesthetic management of a 5 year aged child with congenital rubella syndrome - post device closure of Patent ductus arteriosus, bilateral cataract surgery with moderate branch pulmonary artery stenosis and mental retardation posted for cochlear implant. Keywords: Congenital rubella syndrome, pulmonary artery stenosis, difficult airway, cochlear implant, patent ductus arteriosus.

AbstractThis study investigated the characteristics of congenital rubella syndrome (CRS)-associated cardiac complications, particularly patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). We reviewed the medical records of patients with CRS who were admitted to the Children’s Hospital 1 in Vietnam between December 2010 and December 2012, and patients with CRS who underwent PDA transcatheter occlusion therapy at the cardiology department between December 2009 and December 2015. We compared the characteristics of PDA treated with transcatheter closure between children with CRS (CRS-PDA) and those without CRS (non-CRS-PDA) who underwent PDA transcatheter closure between July 2014 and December 2015. One-hundred-and-eight children with CRS were enrolled. Cardiac defects (99%), cataracts (72%), and hearing impairment (7%) were detected. Fifty CRS-PDA and 290 non-CRS-PDA patients were examined. CRS-PDA patients had smaller median birthweight (p < 0.001), more frequent pulmonary (p < 0.001) and aortic stenosis (p < 0.001), higher main pulmonary artery pressure, and higher aortic pressure in systole/diastole (p < 0.001 for each) than did non-CRS-PDA patients. The proportion of tubular-type PDA was higher in CRS-PDA patients (16%) than in non-CRS-PDA patients (3%) (p = 0.020). Tubular-type PDA was frequently seen in patients with CRS and accompanied by pulmonary/systemic hypertension and pulmonary/aortic stenosis; in these patients, more cautious device selection is needed for transcatheter PDA closure.

Introduction: Congenital Rubella Syndrome is caused by the destructive action of the rubella virus on the fetus at a critical time in development. If the infection occurs at 0-12 weeks of conception, there is a 51% chance of effect on the infant. Along with eye problems, mental retardation, deafness, growth retardation and developmental delays, some patient who survive infection, takes birth with congenital heart disease. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the most commonly reported heart problem. Case Report: Two cases of congenital rubella syndrome with large patent ductus arteriosus and severe pulmonary hypertension are reported here, whose PDA's were closed with Lifetech PDA occluder devices. One of them had multiple peripheral pulmonary stenosis which were also dilated with balloons. Both of them had interventions in same day. Key words: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA); congenital rubella syndrome; severe pulmonary hypertension DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jafmc.v7i1.8627 JAFMC Bangladesh. Vol 7, No 1 (June) 2011; 43-45

AbstractDuctus arteriosus is an essential component of fetal circulation. Due to occurring changes in the cardiopulmonary system physiology after birth, ductus arteriosus closes. Patent ductus arteriosus can be closed by medical or invasive (percutaneous or surgical) treatment methods. Percutaneous or surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus can be performed for the cases that medical closure failed. Surgical treatment is often preferred method for closure of patent ductus arteriosus in the neonatal period. The most common surgical complications are pneumothorax, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, bleeding, and recanalisation. A very rare surgical complication is left pulmonary artery ligation that has been presented in a few cases in the literature. Echocardiography control should be performed in the early post-operative period, especially in patients with clinical suspicion. If reoperation is required, it should never be delayed. We report a newborn patient whose left pulmonary artery ligated accidentally during patent ductus arteriosus closure surgery and surgical correction of this complication at the early post-operative period.
