Guidelines
The Guidelines for managing pregnancy in women with rare vascular diseases provide comprehensive, evidence-based strategies for healthcare providers. These guidelines are developed by VASCERN’s expert Rare Disease Working Groups (RDWGs) and cover a wide range of vascular conditions. The guidelines offer detailed care pathways, from preconception planning through to postpartum care, ensuring that both mother and baby are cared for in a way that addresses the unique risks posed by rare vascular diseases.
Summary: Since the previous version of these Guidelines was published in 2012, new evidence has accumulated, particularly on diagnostic techniques, risk assessment, and the use of cardiovascular drugs. The 2018 ESC Guidelines have been adapted to facilitate their use in clinical practice and to meet readers’ demands by focusing on condensed, clearly presented recommendations.
