Management of pregnancy with severe rheumatic mitral stenosis presenting at term in congestive heart failure: our experience
Simultaneous LSCS and BMV is a feasible and potentially life-saving strategy in women presenting late in pregnancy with severe mitral stenosis and heart failure. A multidisciplinary approach with individualized hemodynamic and fetal considerations is critical. We propose that this time-sensitive strategy may improve outcomes in resource-limited settings.
