A Successful Pregnancy and Delivery after Heart Transplantation: The First Case Report from Korea / 대한이식학회지

ABSTRACT

Pregnancy following heart transplantation is a high-risk condition, requiring adequate maintenance of immunosuppressive drugs that enable proper graft function for optimal maternal and fetal outcomes. Here, we present the first case of successful child delivery in a patient who underwent heart transplantation in Korea. The 35-year-old female patient had become pregnant at 4 years after heart transplantation. The pregnancy progressed uneventfully, and the infant was healthy.
