What are the fetomaternal outcomes of cardiopulmonary bypass and mitral valve replacement during pregnancy?
Cardiopulmonary bypass during pregnancy carries a maternal mortality similar to nonpregnant females but is associated with a high fetal mortality of 16-33%.
Sutton et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Heart disease during pregnancy requiring mitral valve replacement (n=1). Cardiopulmonary bypass and mitral valve replacement was evaluated. Mitral valve replacement using cardiopulmonary bypass was performed in a 26-year-old pregnant woman at 17 weeks gestation who developed adverse neurological sequelae.
