“…A list of previously published relevant case reports is presented in Table 1. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Understanding the risk factors of abdominal aortic dilatation and making predictive diagnosis is the key point. The risk factors of AAA include age (over 40), male sex, smoking, family history of AAA, presence of other cardiovascular disease, hypertension, hyperlipemia, and inherited disorders.…”

Pregnant women are more likely to face cardiovascular disease than non-pregnant women. However, abdominal aortic aneurysm is an extremely rare complication of pregnancy. Abdominal aortic aneurysms in pregnancy are difficult to identify in the early stage and are often diagnosed only when the symptoms have manifested. We report the case of a multiparous 35-year-old patient with a history of abnormal ascending aorta and ruled-out Marfan syndrome by genetic testing. After a multidisciplinary medical team evaluation, she delivered a live baby by cesarean section at 37 weeks of gestation, and the abdominal aortic aneurysm was repaired simultaneously. This case offers evidence-based recommendations for obstetricians to carry out preventive imaging examination for pregnant women with similar risk factors and provide successful experience in prenatal examination for similar diseases.

“…Pregnancy-related aneurysms have been reported in most arteries, including splenic, renal, hepatic, aortic, and cerebral arteries. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12] An ICA pseudoaneurysm appearing in the 40th week of gestation has also been reported, and was operated on after 6 months. 13 A true pregnancy-related carotid aneurysm has not been reported earlier.…”

Carotid aneurysms are rare, and pregnancy-related carotid aneurysms are rarer still. We report the case of an extracranial carotid aneurysm related to pregnancy. It was noted in the 20th week of gestation, and was uncomplicated. Surgery was successfully performed urgently to preempt embolism or rupture. The patient had a full-term normal delivery. The graft is patent, and the patient has no symptoms at 28-month follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first successful repair of an extracranial carotid aneurysm during pregnancy.

“…There are reports of pregnancy-related aneurysms of carotid, cerebral, hepatic, renal and splenic arteries (1-5). We have not found a case of an AVF aneurysm in pregnancy reported in the literature, and although aneurysm formation is a known complication of AVFs, it is particularly noteworthy that in this case the fistula was never needled for dialysis.…”

A Large Aneurysm in an Arterio-Venous Fistula for Renal Access in a Pregnant Young Woman

Pregnancy is known to increase the risk of aneurysm formation, likely by a combination of histological changes in vessel walls associated with the hormones of pregnancy and the haemodynamic changes to the circulation. To our knowledge this is the first case of a pregnant woman with a brachial-cephalic arterio-venous fistula (AVF) that had never been needled for haemodialysis, yet became hugely aneurysmal during her pregnancy.
