Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2012 Jul;46(5):422-6. doi: 10.1177/1538574412444010. Epub 2012 May 15.

Abstract

The authors describe a case of an intrapancreatic gastroduodenal artery aneurysm in a pregnant woman. Successful endovascular therapy was performed for the first time in a visceral artery aneurysm during pregnancy as a bailout solution. The attributive risk to the fetus from scattered radiation during endovascular treatment did not exceed a critical level.
