    Mitral stenosis in pregnant women can be safely treated with closed transventricular valvotomy. This procedure offers low-risk palliation with no increased operative risk or adverse effects on the fetus.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Obstetrics
    • Cardiac Surgery

    Background:

    • Mitral stenosis poses significant risks during pregnancy.
    • Surgical intervention for mitral stenosis in pregnant patients requires careful consideration of maternal and fetal outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of closed transventricular valvotomy in pregnant women with mitral stenosis.
    • To assess the long-term outcomes and impact on fetal health.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 42 pregnant women with mitral stenosis who underwent closed transventricular valvotomy over an 8-year period.
    • Analysis of clinical disability as the primary indication for surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Closed transventricular valvotomy provided excellent, low-risk palliation for symptomatic mitral stenosis.

  • Pregnancy did not elevate the operative risk associated with mitral valvotomy.
  • Long-term results were comparable to those in non-pregnant patients.
  • No adverse effects on the fetus were observed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Closed transventricular valvotomy is a safe and effective procedure for managing mitral stenosis during pregnancy.
    • The intervention does not compromise maternal or fetal well-being.
    • It offers a viable option for symptomatic relief in this patient population.
