From Recussitation to Birth: Double Valve Replacement Due to Infective Endocarditis in Pregnant Woman
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Pregnancy carries an increased risk for mother and the fetus in patients with cardiac disease. In this case we represent a woman with gestational age of 16 weeks, who was resuscitated and underwent double valve replacement with longer cardiopulmonary bypass times (112 minutes of cross clamping and 133 minutes of perfusion time) due to infective endocarditis and decompensed heart failure. After the surgery at 38th gestational weeks, she gave birth uneventfully to a healthy child whose Apgar score was 9 at first and fifth minutes of the delivery. Heart surgery during pregnancy can be performed with acceptable maternal and fetal mortality rates. These rates may even be lower if strict protocols performed during every step of surgery and after.
