Popis:	Arterial thromboembolism is very uncommon in pregnancy. It is associated with complications like sudden death and long-term morbidity. Heart valve thrombosis without anticoagulation is devastating. All patients with mechanical prosthetic valves must continue anticoagulation without fail. If patient wants to have pregnancy, the type of anticoagulation should be changed according to period of gestation and condition. Maternal and foetal condition should be closely monitored. In patients of heart disease with mechanical prosthetic mitral valve, pregnancy is avoided due to the risk of complications during pregnancy. But, some patients insist on having a child due to their social need in spite of dreaded complications. Such patients should have anticoagulants under supervision of cardiologist.
