Pathogenesis of aneurysms in pregnancy
- Pregnancy increases the risk of aneurysm development and rupture
- This is due to the haemodynamic changes in pregnancy
- The high plasma volume in pregnancy may delay the onset of symptoms of aneurysm rupture
- Features of rupture may be wrongly attributed to eclampsia
- Rupture may compromise placental blood flow and cause foetal distress
Aneurysm rupture risk in pregnancy
Features predicting high risk of aneurysm rupture
Management of pregnancy with an aneurysm
Management of aneurysms in pregnancy
