Two successful cases of mitral valve replacement with cardiopulmonary by-pass and myocardial protection are reported. Postoperative anticoagulation was obtained with oral anticoagulants. The patients delivered two healthy newborns. The report suggests that an open-heart operation can be performed in pregnant women with an acceptable risk for the mother and the fetus.
