Successful pregnancies after neonatal aortic thrombosis, childhood arterial repair, and a deficient pelvic vasculature

Abstract

Key Clinical MessageNeonatal aortic bifurcation thrombosis can cause occlusion of iliac arteries causing abnormal pelvic vasculature and claudication in childhood. A bifurcation graft normalizes the perfusion of the legs but not of the pelvis. In a girl, this does not preclude successful pregnancies in adult life. It has not been reported before.
