Planned pregnancy in a heart transplant recipient.
Solid organ transplantation often leads to the return of fertility in recipients. In females of childbearing age this can be accompanied by a desire to have children. The present paper discusses a planned pregnancy in a heart transplant recipient and outlines important -management issues. These principles of management can be applied to most solid organ transplant recipients.
