Pregnancy in women with prior closed commissurotomy is associated with significant fetal and maternal complications, particularly congestive heart failure.
Matorras et al. (1986) conducted a cohort in Pregnancy post-commissurotomy (n=157). Prior commissurotomy (closed surgery) was evaluated on Fetal complications and maternal mortality. Pregnancies in women with prior closed commissurotomy had significant fetal complications, including perinatal mortality (44.3 per 1,000), preterm birth (8.5%), and intrauterine growth retardation (17.3%).
