Objective: With this case report would like to emphasize the complexity that involves the management of pregnant women with mechanical heart valves. In that sense, an adequate interdisciplinary management of this potentially serious pathology is required for maternal and fetal well-being.

Case Report: A 32-year-old primipara, with a mechanical mitral valve replacement, was admitted to our emergency department at 37 weeks of gestation with acute dyspnea and presyncope.
