Report of a successful delivery after nonsurgical management of a choriocarcinoma-related pelvic arteriovenous fistula.
A case of a pelvic arteriovenous fistula is described 5 years after treatment of trophoblastic disease. Hypogastric embolization, rather than an operation, was used to obliterate the fistula. Pregnancy occurred 1 year later and a healthy infant was delivered. This is the first report of a delivery after angiographic management alone.
