Clevidipine for perioperative pressure control in a child with aortic coarctation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clevidipine is a short-acting, intravenous calcium channel antagonist of the dihydropyridine class. Rapid metabolism by blood and tissue esterases results in a half-life of 1-3 minutes. We present anecdotal experience with the use of clevidipine to provide perioperative BP control in a 2-year-old child with aortic coarctation. Options for BP control in pediatric patients are discussed and previous reports of clevidipine use are reviewed.

Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA).
