Description
Wong and co-authors discuss pregnancy planning for a woman with a mechanical heart valve and a recent stroke. The 31-year-old had a mechanical aortic valve placed for congenital aortic narrowing. She came to a cardiology clinic to seek advice before conceiving a child.
Four weeks before, she had suffered an acute stroke. Checks then found a clot on her prosthetic valve, which required valve replacement surgery. The report follows her clinical course in detail. It weighs the clotting and bleeding risks that shape pregnancy advice for women with mechanical valves after stroke.
