Abstract

Idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare condition associated with significant maternal mortality. We report the management of a 37-year-old multigravida with severe disease using epoprostenol, a multidisciplinary approach, and a planned delivery. Although the patient survived the pregnancy, her pulmonary function significantly worsened. Epoprostenol, a pulmonary vasodilator, should be considered when indicated during pregnancy. Neither fetal nor neonatal harm was identified.
