Gastrointestinal hemorrhage during pregnancy in a patient with a history of vertical-banded gastroplasty

M M Ramirez et al. Am J Obstet Gynecol. 1995 Nov.

Abstract

Pregnancy after gastric bypass for morbid obesity is well reported; however, the only maternal complications described have involved nutritional deficiencies. We report a case of gastrointestinal hemorrhage during pregnancy resulting from erosion of a synthetic graft from a vertical-banded gastroplasty performed 4 years previously.
