Background: Pregnancy usually represents a risk factor for aortic dissection or thrombotic events, but therapeutic options are very scarce because the foetus limits the common approaches especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Case presentation: We present a challenging case of a young woman in her 16th week of gestation with an history of multiple abortions associated with autoimmune thrombophilia. A strictly designed perioperative management protocol was required to remove a huge right endoventricular mass, due to her decision to not terminate the pregnancy. Conclusions: Nowadays the mother, completely healthy, gived birth to her baby so it demonstrates how cardiac surgery, even in complicated circumstances, can be feasible during pregnancy through a multidisciplinary approach.

Abstract

Background: Pregnancy usually represents a risk factor for aortic dissection or thrombotic events, but therapeutic options are very scarce because the foetus limits the common approaches especially in the early stages of pregnancy. Case presentation: We present a challenging case of a young woman in her 16th week of gestation with an history of multiple abortions associated with autoimmune thrombophilia. A strictly designed perioperative management protocol was required to remove a huge right endoventricular mass, due to her decision to not terminate the pregnancy. Conclusions: Nowadays the mother, completely healthy, gived birth to her baby so it demonstrates how cardiac surgery, even in complicated circumstances, can be feasible during pregnancy through a multidisciplinary approach.
