Pregnancy and delivery in a patient with recent peripartum cardiomyopathy.
1998
Abstract We present a case of successful pregnancy and delivery in a patient with peripartum cardiomyopathy who conceived only 3 months after a vaginal delivery complicated by peripartum cardiomyopathy. Following the onset of labor, an arterial pressure catheter and pulmonary artery catheter were placed. A combined epidural spinal technique was performed without difficulty for labor analgesia. After a few hours of labor, the fetal heart rate tracing revealed repetitive variable decelerations, and a decision was made to proceed with operative delivery. The mother's hemodynamic changes are presented, and the specifics of the anesthetic care are outlined.
