Aortic surgery for pregnant women
Abstract
Background: Women with aortopathy face potential risks during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Methods: We review recent articles related to pregnancy and aortic surgery. Results: Aortic surgery accounts for significant morbidity and mortality in both motherand fetus, although some successful cases have been reported. Prophylactic repair for a high-risk patent also has a limited clinical effect. Conclusions: Currently, medical treatments are limited for pregnant women with aortopathy. Such women should be counseled against the risk of pregnancy and about the heritable nature of the disease prior to pregnancy.
