Abstract

This retrospective study aimed to compare maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnant women with a history of cardiac surgery—classified into valvular and non-valvular groups—and healthy controls. The findings showed that women with prior cardiac surgery had higher maternal intensive care needs and worse neonatal outcomes, including lower birth weights, higher Neonatal Intensive Care Unıte NICU admission rates, and increased fetal cardiac anomalies. The non-valvular group exhibited more adverse neonatal results. These results highlight the increased risks associated with pregnancy in women with a cardiac surgical history and underscore the importance of multidisciplinary follow-up to optimize outcomes.

Özet

Bu retrospektif çalışma, kapak cerrahisi öyküsü olan ve kapak dışı kalp cerrahisi geçiren hamile kadınlarda maternal ve fetal sonuçları sağlıklı kontrollerle karşılaştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Bulgular, daha önce kalp ameliyatı geçirmiş kadınların daha yüksek maternal yoğun bakım ihtiyaçları ve daha düşük doğum ağırlıkları, daha yüksek yoğun bakım ünitesi (YYBÜ) nekabul oranları ve artan fetal kardiyak anomaliler dahil olmak üzere daha kötü neonatal sonuçları olduğunu göstermiştir. Valvüler olmayan grup daha olumsuz neonatal sonuçlar sergilemiştir. Bu sonuçlar, kardiyak cerrahi öyküsü olan kadınlarda gebelikle ilişkili risklerin arttığını vurgulamakta ve sonuçları optimize etmek için multidisipliner takibin öneminin altını çizmektedir.
