Pregnancy after transcatheter embolization of a uterine arteriovenous malformation.
A 25-year-old woman with a congenital uterine arteriovenous malformation had a long history of repeated excessive vaginal bleeding. She was successfully treated with transarterial embolization. She had normal menstrual periods for 6 months and subsequently conceived. She was delivered of a normally grown baby at 35 weeks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third pregnancy described after successful embolization of an arteriovenous malformation.
