Expectant management of pregnancy-related high-velocity uterine arteriovenous shunt diagnosed after abortion
Abstract
Objective: To assess sonographic and clinical outcome in women with pregnancy-related uterine arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) diagnosed after abortion.
Method: Twelve patients diagnosed as having AVMs after abortion were followed-up until resolution of the lesions.
Results: The 9 asymptomatic patients were managed expectantly for 4 to 10 weeks without further complications. None of the 12 required aggressive interventions such as transcatheter arterial embolization, and 6 had uncomplicated pregnancies after resolution of the lesions.
Conclusion: Expectant management is an option in many women with pregnancy-related uterine AVMs.
