Mitral Valvotomy in Relation to Pregnancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conflicting views have been expressed regarding the advisability of mitral valvotomy in pregnancy. Little attention has been paid to the effect of pregnancy on the deterioration in cardiac status subsequent to mitral valvotomy. This study has been undertaken in an effort to clarify these two issues. Before June 1963, 903 patients under the care of one of us (J.F.P.) had mitral valvotomy. Of these, 41 had the operation during pregnancy. Among the remainder were 58 patients who became pregnant subsequent to the operation.

Pregnancy can cause life threatening complications in women with mitral stenosis, and there is a substantial risk of fetal death if valvotomy under cardiopulmonary bypass is required. A patient is described in whom pulmonary oedema developed after delivery of her first child by caesarean section 13 months previously. Subsequent cardiac catheterisation showed severe mitral stenosis (valve area 0...

متن کاملThe Association between B-type Natriuretic Peptide Family and Successful Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy: A Systematic Review
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) level is known to increase in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis. In this systematic review, we aimed to discuss the possible association between plasma BNP level and the success rate of percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched systematically, using the following key terms: “B-type natriuretic peptide” OR “BN...
متن کاملThe atrial electrocardiogram as a guide to prognosis after mitral valvotomy.
A study has been made of serial electrocardiograms of patients with mitral stenosis in sinus rhythm, whose clinical progress was followed for at least four years after mitral valvotomy. The behaviour of the left atrial P wave after operation has been examined with special reference to its relationship to continued clinical progress. In addition, the form of the P wave in the pre-operative elect...
متن کاملPrediction of successful outcome in 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy.
We studied 130 patients undergoing percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy. The relation between valvular morphology according to a previously described echocardiographic scoring system and hemodynamic outcome expressed as qualitative ("good" and suboptimal) and as absolute change in valve area was analyzed. The relative importance of the individual components of this echocardiographic score (val...
