    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Cardiothoracic Surgery
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

    Background:

    • Mitral restenosis poses significant risks during pregnancy, potentially leading to severe complications like pulmonary edema.
    • Surgical intervention for cardiac conditions during pregnancy requires careful consideration of maternal and fetal well-being.

    Observation:

    • A 32-year-old pregnant woman in her seventh month presented with intractable pulmonary edema secondary to severe mitral restenosis.

    Findings:

    • Emergency open-heart mitral commissurotomy was successfully performed.
    • The patient continued her pregnancy to term post-operatively.
    • A healthy female infant was delivered following the procedure.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the feasibility and safety of open-heart surgery for managing mitral restenosis in advanced pregnancy.
    • The findings support the review of existing literature on cardiac surgery during gestation.
    • Successful outcomes underscore the importance of multidisciplinary management in pregnant patients with severe cardiac disease.
