    Objectives: Total aortic occlusion is a severe complication of Takayasu arteritis (TAK). Pregnancy follow-up in the state of total aortic occlusion due to TAK has not been reported before. Case presentation: A 35 year-old nulliparous woman with total aortic occlusion in the distal aorta due to TAK, admitted with pregnancy desire. She had developed a collateral vessel system which has maintained the lower body circulation. She was informed about the potential risks after an evaluation and she admitted to our clinic at the seventh week of pregnancy, and acetylsalicylic acid was prescribed. At 20th gestational week anomaly screening was in normal limits although the uterine artery Doppler had lower S/D, PI and RI values. She was followed-up regularly in every two weeks. Vascular examination was performed by using an ankle brachial index (ABI) by duplex ultrasound. At 20th gestational week ankle brachial index score was 0.8-0.9 which indicates mild disease. Around 28th gestational week her claudication got worse again and ABI was in moderate level (0.5-0.8) and low molecular weight heparin was started. Until 37th gestational week her disease was stable, ABI was above 0.5, her blood pressure was in normal limits, no vascular complication occurred and the baby's growth percentile was at 25th centile. At 37th gestational week a 2,640 g baby was delivered. Patient was discharged without any complications at third post-operative day. Conclusions: Complicated TAK patients may have good obstetric outcomes with a multidisciplinary approach in experienced tertiary centers.

    These guidelines follow the mission of the World Association of Perinatal Medicine, which brings together groups and individuals throughout the world with the goal of improving outcomes of maternal, fetal and neonatal (perinatal) patients. Guidelines for auditing, evaluation, and clinical care in perinatal medicine enable physicians diagnose, treat and follow-up of COVID-19-exposed pregnant women. These guidelines are based on quality evidence in the peer review literature as well as the experience of perinatal expert throughout the world. Physicians are advised to apply these guidelines to the local realities which they face. We plan to update these guidelines as new evidence become available.
