I just completely blacked out. I passed out on
the couch in November, Katie Stewart who was 19
weeks pregnant says she was having a great time with
her oldest son. When, when I woke up
, I was blind, I was numb on half
of my body. I couldn't talk. Um I
was in like a cold sweat Stewart was rushed to
Saint Vincent's Medical Center. She immediately went into surgery
for an aneurysm in her spleen that ruptured. So
they ended up um, interventional radiology, ended up
putting a coil in to stop bleeding. In order
to remove the aneurysm, we remove this part of
the blood vessel as well as the tail of the
pancreas and the spleen which it supplies doctor Charles Cha
with Hartford health care. Performed the surgery. This
is the most common type of aneurysm to rupture during
pregnancy. As all tissue gets softer and expands during
pregnancy. These aneurysms can grow quite large. Stewart
says she was very lucky and so was her baby
. You know, the mortality rate. Unfortunately,
when it comes to clinic, aneurysms during pregnancy is
like 95%. So the fact that I live through
the bleed with the aneurysm um is nothing short of
a miracle because really neither of us really should.
