Text Extraction

We present two cases of pregnant women associated with mechanical mitral valve prostheses dysfunction, treated between October 1998 and September 2000, in congestive heart failure, functional class III, without fetal distress. Emergency surgery consisted in cesarean procedure immediately followed for mitral prostheses remotion and implant of new mechanical heart valve prostheses was realized in both patients. In each case a single live product was obtained with good Apgar evaluation. Both patients had successful surgical procedures. In both patients were found thrombus in mechanical heart valves. Actually patients and their children have good evolution, without any problem.
