PY - 2016 T2 - Anesthesiology Core Review: Part Two Advanced Exam AB - Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) encompasses a spectrum of disorders related to unregulated growth arising from trophoblastic cells. During normal pregnancy, trophoblastic cells invade the endometrium, promote angiogenesis, and thus help create a rich uterine vasculature that ultimately becomes the placenta. However, in rare circumstances, these cells can become hyperplastic and invasive, presenting as a group of diseases ranging from molar pregnancies to metastatic choriocarcinoma. Anesthetic management is centered on treating the specific medical complications associated with GTD while also preparing for significant blood loss and cardiopulmonary instability.
