Abstract
Mitral valve prosthetic surgery was performed at 29 weeks' gestation in a woman who had reoperation for a thrombotic mitral valve prosthesis and pulmonary edema. Concomitant severe preeclampsia was also present. During operation fetal bradycardia developed and the fetus died. Because the findings differ from those previously reported with regard to normal pregnancies, their implications are discussed.
