title: [Pregnancy in patients with prosthetic heart valves].
abstract: In women with prosthetic heart valves, pregnancy carry a risk for both mother and fetus, requiring an obstetrical and cardiological management at an optimal level. We performed a systematic review of the literature to estimate the maternal and fetal complications and in order to offer pregnant women carrying a prosthetic heart valve the most practical approach enabling reduction of these risks. As there are no available controlled clinical trials, larger prospective studies are needed to provide guidelines for effective antithrombotic therapy.
