Abstract
Learning Objectives: •Pregnancy is a pro-thrombotic state•Pregnancy with a mechanical heart valve has high risk of stuck vale despite adequate anti-coagulation•Management of such high-risk cases must be carried out at a tertiary care center with all facilities•Multi-disciplinary approach is required to deal with pregnant women with mechanical heart valve.
