The pregnancy was uneventful until 30 weeks' ge station, when she developed pancreatitis and a worsening of mild hypertensi on. A healthy 1700 g boy was delivered by caesarean section at 34 weeks' ge station. This is the first report of a successful pregnancy after SPK trans plantation in Australia.
