Hi-
I just read your report regarding a ruptured SAA(splenic artery aneurysm) in a woman who was 32 weeks pregnant.

ps

http://www.cpsp.edu.pk/jcpsp/ARCHIEVE/May2004/page298.asp

On May 26, 2001 my baby and I survived a ruptured
splenic artery aneurysm. I was 36 weeks pregnant.

The OB's missed the initial diagnosis of the aneurysm
but did do a emergency c-section after my son showed
severe signs of heart rate on the fetal monitor.

Bottom line is the OB's encountered bleeding
immediately when entering my abdomen and started
transfusing me for blood loss.

They did not call for a surgeon but had their staff
doctor as they were residents come take a look. He
determined the bleeding had stopped and did not cut me
further. They determined this through my c-section
incision.

They took me to recovery where they woke me up and I
was once again screaming in pain. They kept giving me
pain medication in my IV.

I finally went into shock, no pulse was found and a
code blue was called.

The OB's did not know what was wrong with me but a
third year surgery resident responded to the code. He
performed a emergency thoracotomy on be to clamp the
aorta, found the source of bleeding, took my spleen
and performed a distal pancrenectomy. I was intubated
and spent a long time in the ICU and then is an
isolation room due to a MRSA infection.

I received over 34 units of blood, cell saver and
plasma.

I was told my baby and I were the 14th known woman and
baby to have survived this type of aneurysm.

I have a lot of questions about SAA's and now the
prolonged problems of severe thoracotomy pain, reduced
immune fighting abilities because of no spleen which
leave me sick all of the time and the long term
effects of my distal pancrenectomy.

I am grateful to be alive but have not been able to
find much information about what happened to me. I am
unsure why I made it but I want to help educate and/or
help assist doctors all over the world in "thinking
outside of the box" to help a pregnant woman and her
baby to survive this type of trauma.

Since my OB's missed the diagnosis we were told it is
short of a miracle we made it but anything I can do
and anything you can tell me to explain what happened
would be great!
