TMVR, also known as trans catheter mitral valve replacement is a relatively
recent technique of replacing the mitral valve in the heart without the need
for conventional open-heart surgery. TMVR is a treatment for mitral valve
stenosis or mitral valve regurgitation or a mix of the two. Being a lesser
invasive technique, it was developed initially as a method of replacing the
mitral valve in patients considered too high risk for surgery. There are very
few reports of TMVR procedure in pregnant patients. The advantage of
TMVR in these patients is better maternal and fetal outcome. We would
like to discuss about a patient in her second trimester of pregnancy posted
for TMVR and the multiple challenges faced during and after this
procedure.
