Valvular Heart Disease and a Pregnancy-Associated Death
Managing pregnancies in patients with prosthetic heart valves presents challenges including recurrent arrhythmia, bleeding, thrombosis, and infection. We present a woman with valvular heart disease and paroxysmal atrial arrhythmias who died after pregnancy and examine how Maternal Mortality Review Committees address areas to improve maternal outcomes.
