Résumé
Pulmonary hypertension has been recognized as a contraindication to pregnancy. Recently, several groups have shown promising results with the use of balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) in the treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) patients with distally located organized thrombi who were not candidates for pulmonary endarterectomy. We present the case report of a 26-year-old woman who became pregnant after successful treatment of severe CTEPH with the use of BPA. We conclude that patients undergoing effective BPA for CTEPH can consider becoming pregnant if followed closely by a multidisciplinary team, including experts in thrombosis, pulmonary hypertension, and obstetrics.
