What is the advisability of mitral valvotomy in pregnancy, and what is the effect of pregnancy on cardiac status subsequent to mitral valvotomy?
What is the advisability of mitral valvotomy in pregnancy, and what is the effect of pregnancy on cardiac status subsequent to mitral valvotomy?
This study aims to clarify the advisability of mitral valvotomy during pregnancy and the effect of pregnancy on cardiac status post-valvotomy.
Mitral valvotomy in pregnancy warrants caution; leaves open effects on post-procedure cardiac status.
Conflicting views have been expressed regarding the advisability of mitral valvotomy in pregnancy. Little attention has been paid to the effect of pregnancy on the deterioration in cardiac status subsequent to mitral valvotomy. This study has been undertaken in an effort to clarify these two issues.
