Iatrogenic Arteriovenous Fistula of the breast following core ‐biopsy presenting in pregnancy

Abstract
Core‐biopsy of the breast is the standard of care for assessment of breast lumps. It is rarely associated with a vascular injury resulting in the formation of an arteriovenous fistula. Though previously noted in the medical literature, it has never been reported in the context of pregnancy and lactation.
