[Cesarean section in severe double valvular disease].
During pregnancy haemodynamic changes are a stress to the cardiovascular system. Women with previously asymptomatic cardiovascular disease may develop life-threatening cardiac failure because of the extra demands of pregnancy. Early diagnosis, close control and treatment during pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period are essential. We report a case where a woman with a mitral stenosis and insufficiency of the mitral and aortic valves gave birth to a child by caesarian section.
