title: [Anesthetic management for nephrectomy in a 2-year-old girl with abdominal aortic aneurysm].
abstract: We report anesthetic management for nephrectomy in an infant with aortic aneurysm. A 2-year-old girl with renovascular hypertension and abdominal aortic aneurysm, who had shown repeated episodes of heart failure, was scheduled for nephrectomy. Anesthesia was induced with sevoflurane in nitrous oxide (70%) and oxygen. During the surgery, anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane (1.5%) in nitrous oxide (50%) and oxygen, supplemented with intermittent epidural block. The blood pressure did not show marked changes during the surgery. There was no perioperative cardiovascular complication.
