Systemic vasodilation is a predominant cause of hypotension in a patient with familial amyloid polyneuropathy during liver transplantation

Gundappa Neelakanta et al. J Clin Anesth. 2005 May.

Abstract

A patient with familial amyloid polyneuropathy underwent a living, nonrelated orthotopic liver transplant and developed hypotension after induction of anesthesia. Causes of hypotension in patients with familial amyloid polyneuropathy are discussed. Transesophageal echocardiographic monitoring was invaluable in differentiating various causes of hypotension and in diagnosing peripheral vasodilation as the predominant cause of hypotension.
