Young women with mitral valve disease face a dilemma when selecting a mitral prosthesis, and there is no perfect solution. In general, tissue prostheses are preferable in women who plan to become pregnant but degenerate more quickly in young patients necessitating a repeat intervention. 1 Some may experience structural valve deterioration even before their first pregnancy, and at the time of a second operation, a mechanical valve is frequently advised. 2 If they have babies before structural valve deterioration and die at reoperation, they leave children without a biological mother. The necessary anticoagulation that accompanies a mechanical valve poses significant maternal and fetal risks during the markedly prothrombotic state of pregnancy. 3 Whichever anticoagulant strategy is selected, risks include maternal hemorrhage, valve thrombosis, miscarriage, and fetal demise. 3 Registries report that women with mechanical heart valves have only a 58% chance of having an uncomplicated pregnancy with a live birth. 3, 4
