Abstract
For women who have a fetal demise with an abdominal cerclage in place, route of uterine
evacuation is a clinical dilemma. We review a case of a second trimester loss in the
setting of an abdominal cerclage in an HIV positive woman. We provide other clinician's
experience and management strategies and provide a review of cases found in the literature.
