Pregnancy after heart and lung transplantation has a high live birth rate and does not appear to negatively affect long-term maternal survival or graft function, despite high rates of pregnancy-related complications like preterm birth and preeclampsia.
We show reassuring pregnancy outcomes for post-HTx, LTx, and HLTx patients in an exclusive European cohort, despite high pregnancy complication rates. Graft function and overall maternal survival appear unaffected. We highlight differences in pregnancy management between centers and suggest development of a uniform approach.
Meinderts et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
