Labor and delivery complicated by acute mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae.

Acute mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae is a dramatic and life-threatening clinical situation. Rarely does this complication occur during pregnancy. We present a case of a 30-year-old woman in week 31 of her pregnancy who developed acute mitral regurgitation, secondary to bacterial endocarditis and ruptured chordae tendineae. This acute event resulted in preterm labor a few hours later. Delivery was uneventful and successful and was followed by open heart surgery 5 days later. A review of the literature on chordae tendineae rupture and resulting mitral regurgitation during pregnancy is presented.

The benefit of cesarean section in acute myocardial infarction complicated by premature labor.

A 42-year-old woman with no known risk factors had an acute myocardial infarction at 32 weeks' gestation and went into premature labor. She required invasive hemodynamic monitoring and inotropic support. Congestive heart failure improved dramatically after cesarean section. During the acute infarction, ventricular dysfunction was out of proportion to the ultimate ventricular damage. The concept of the stunned myocardium is used to explain this finding and to justify early cesarean section. Another complication of her infarction, left ventricular thrombosis, has not previously been described in pregnancy.
