Summary

This chapter reviews the physiologic changes of pregnancy and how they relate specifically to major arterial vascular diseases – namely, thoracic aortopathies, pulmonary hypertension, and splenic artery aneurysms. It summarizes the key management strategies throughout preconception, pregnancy, intra-partum, and post-partum stages.
