UNASSIGNED: Pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of @entity715 in @entity1 with mechanical prosthetic heart valves. We present the case of a 29-year-old @entity1 who developed early postpartum mitral valve @entity715 after an elective cesarean delivery. The @entity1 had a mechanical mitral valve and was treated with @entity1229 in the second trimester, which was replaced with high-dose @entity16960 during late pregnancy. Elective cesarean delivery was performed under general anesthesia at 37weeks of gestation. The @entity1 was admitted to the intensive care unit for postoperative care and within 30min she developed @entity1353 and @entity519 requiring mechanical ventilation. She deteriorated rapidly and developed @entity3126 , worsening @entity519 and severe @entity520 . Urgent extra corporeal membrane oxygenation was initiated. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed a mitral valve @entity715 . The @entity1 underwent a successful mitral valve replacement after three days on extra corporeal membrane oxygenation. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care and frequent monitoring of anticoagulation during care of pregnant @entity1 with prosthetic heart valves.

Early postpartum mitral XXXX requiring extra corporeal membrane oxygenation before successful valve replacement.
