Abstract
Objective To evaluate the clinical, maternal, and fetal outcomes of pregnant women undergoing percutaneous transmitral commissurotomy (PTMC) during pregnancy. Methods A single-center prospective cohort observational study. Pregnant women with severe MS who underwent PTMC were included. The patients were monitored before and after the procedure, and fetal and maternal outcomes were assessed. Results BMV significantly enhanced the clinical and echocardiographic profiles of pregnant women with severe MS. Low-birth-weight babies were noted, unrelated to BMV. Moderate commissural MR occurred but was managed conservatively. Conclusion BMV is safe and effective in pregnant women with severe MS resulting in favorable fetal outcomes.
