Why the study?
With advancing maternal age and rising cardiovascular risk factors, more women enter pregnancy with or at risk for cardiovascular conditions, necessitating an understanding of indications and periprocedural considerations for catheterization laboratory interventions.

A multidisciplinary cardio-obstetrics approach is essential for optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes when managing acute cardiovascular conditions requiring catheter-based interventions during pregnancy.
As the average maternal age advances with increasing concurrent cardiovascular disease risk factors, more women are entering pregnancy with or at risk for various cardiovascular conditions. Although rare, pregnant patients may require various cardiac interventions in the catheterization laboratory. An understanding of indications for intervention in pregnant patients with conditions such as myocardial infarction, severe valvular disease, and cardiogenic shock is critical to optimizing both fetal and maternal outcomes. This document highlights the most common cardiovascular conditions that may be encountered during pregnancy that may require intervention and highlights indications for intervention and periprocedural considerations to facilitate favorable maternal and fetal outcomes.
