Abstract
A pregnant woman with rheumatic heart disease always runs the risk of developing both thromboembolic and hemorrhagic symptoms, necessitating careful monitoring of her anticoagulation treatments both throughout pregnancy and after delivery. Postpartum haemorrhage, a hemorrhagic manifestation, can be challenging to control and presents a significant challenge when it comes to beginning anticoagulation after delivery. Thus, pregnancy in these patients is an extremely risky endeavour. Given that these women take anticoagulants, managing these women with artificial heart valves throughout pregnancy can be difficult. The diminished clotting ability in these women may be the cause of postpartum haemorrhage, and a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for a successful treatment. To manage this potentially fatal illness, a well-equipped institution with proper support systems is essential. We present a 23-year-old primigravida who was 39 weeks and three days pregnant and had a repaired aortic valve as well as a prosthetic mitral valve. She was taking warfarin to prevent clotting when she was pregnant.
Keywords:
hemorrhage with prosthetic heart valve; mechanical heart valve in pregnancy; post partum haemorrhage; pregnancy with prosthetic heart valve; secondary pph in prosthetic valve.
