The syndrome produced by the deletion of chromosome 22q11 corresponds to a pattern of anomalies that occurs when a specific region of chromosome 22 is lost, specifically called 22q11.2. This microdeletion corresponds to the most frequent chromosomal alteration in humans, which has a prevalence of 1 per 4,000 live births. This includes a great variety of phenotypes, many of them sub-clinical, among which the Di George syndrome and the Velocardiofacial syndrome stand out. The main cause of mortality is of cardiac origin. Embryologically, this microdeletion is associated with alterations in the differentiation and migration of the pharyngeal system, with consequent craniofacial, cardiac, airway, thymus and parathyroid alterations, among others. In this sense, these patients present a higher risk of complications such as inmunodeficiency, hypocalcemia and hemorrhagic risk. From the surgical and anesthetic point of view, they can present cardiopathies of greater complexity of correction, which in some cases is also related to anatomical airway alterations which can constitute an important challenge when operating this type of patients. Considering the above, there is an increase in perioperative risk which could increase mortality. The objective of this review is to present the characteristics and behavior of this group of patients in the correction of their heart diseases, so that they are known by the anesthesiologists who work in the cardiovascular area.
