[Significance of surgically corrected heart valve diseases on fertility].
We report on 111 patients, who were operated for heart valve failure. The influence of the operation on fertility was examined. Only 24 women became pregnant. From 34 pregnancies, 4 resulted in early abortion; in 12 cases abortion was performed (8 times for medical reasons), therefore 18 children were born. The remaining 87 operated patients (78.4%) never became pregnant, although only 29 patients were advised against pregnancy. 27 patients decided on various contraceptive methods by themselves.
