RESUMO
We had examined the invasive blood pressure monitoring of superficial temporal, radial and femoral artery in two eases of Takayasus syndrome with mitral regurgitation and acute renal artery infarction. Mitral valve replacement and aorto-renal bypass graft were done by using cardiopulmonary bypass and one-lung ventilation respectively, The results are ; 1) Superficial temporal artery monitoring was more reliable and less fluctuant than femoral and radial artery monitoring in blood pressure. But we dont know the relationship of adequate cerebral perfusion pressure and superficial temporal artery pressure. 2) The femoral artery pressure monitoring was not adequate when the patients had a problem with ascending and descending aorta patency. 3) We had good results in the patient management by the monitoring of superficial temporal artery pressure.
