Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty during Pregnancy

Abstract EN

Women with valvular heart disease have an increased risk of adverse outcomes in pregnancy; however, with appropriate evaluation and treatment, most women can successfully bear healthy children.

During pregnancy, pulmonary stenosis is generally well tolerated in the absence of other haemodynamically significant lesions.

We present a case of a multiparous woman,who is pregnant with her sixth child, with a severe pulmonary stenosis.

She presented with exertional chest pain and dyspnea.

She was managed successfully with balloon valvuloplasty.
