Popis: Pregnancy with heart disease still continues to be one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. The presence of heart disease amounts to additional burden on the cardio respiratory system of the mother. The critical period extends from the third trimester to the postpartum period. We herewith report a case of pregnancy with severe mitral stenosis (MS) and pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) for cesarean section which was further complicated by postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). This case was managed by a combination of epidural and general anesthesia for cesarean section with a successful outcome.
