What is the incidence of fetal and maternal complications in pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves, and is it associated with the type of anticoagulation regimen used?
This prospective population-based study aims to provide data on pregnancy outcomes and complications in women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves in the UK, and their association with anticoagulation regimens.
