Population
39 pregnant and parturient women with pulmonary hypertension
Comparison
Multidisciplinary medical support with cardiac and endovascular interventions as needed
Design
Observational cohort study at a single center

Multidisciplinary management of pregnant women with pulmonary hypertension can result in relatively low maternal mortality compared to historical rates, though risks remain significant.
