Abstract:
Background: Coarctation of the aorta is a congenital narrowing of the aorta that can present significant challenges during pregnancy due to changes in cardiovascular physiology.Objective: Evaluate the outcomes and management of pregnancy in women with coarctation of the thoracic aorta.Methods: Two cases of pregnant women with coarctation were analyzed, focusing on hypertension management and delivery planning using a multidisciplinary approach.Results: Both cases required close monitoring and individualized management. One patient required surgery post-delivery, while the other was managed with medication. Both mothers and babies had favorable outcomes.Conclusion: Pregnancy in women with coarctation of the aorta requires a multidisciplinary approach, with careful monitoring and management to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. Advances in cardiology and obstetrics have improved prognosis for both mother and child.
