4 Risk Stratification in PH Kiely DG, Condliffe R et al. BJOG 2010; 117:565-74

5 CONTRACEPTIVE ADVICE Kiely DG, Condliffe R et al. BJOG 2010; 117:565-74

6 Contraception and pulmonary hypertension Percent of women experiencing an unintended pregnancy within one year of use: Adapted from WHO Typical use (%) Perfect use (%) Periodic abstinence Condom 15 2 POP * Depoprovera Implanon * Cerazette * 0.05 Mirena IUS Female sterilisation Thorne S et al. Heart 2006; 92:

7 Women with PAH should be advised of the high risk of pregnancy with clear contraceptive advice

8 Case 1: Heritable PAH and 29 yrs pregnancy 2 sisters died of PAH one following childbirth Developed PAH in previous pregnancy CS at 35/40 with subsequent dramatic symptomatic improvement Despite counselling regarding the risks patient successfully became pregnant again

9 Despite the high risks of pregnancy patients with PH may still express a wish to conceive

10 DIAGNOSTIC INVESTIGATIONS DEPENDENT ON DIAGNOSTIC & PROGNOSTIC UNCERTAINTY Kiely DG, Condliffe R et al. BJOG 2010; 117:565-74

11 Case 2: Unexplained PH presenting in pregnancy 38 years old 24 weeks pregnant SOB 2 years, worse over 6/52 WHO Class IV OE: P 110, SaO2 94%, BP 120/70 PSM, RV Heave, ankle oedema DVT right leg diagnosed 5 months previously Previous i.v. drug user i.v. amphetamines Para x LSCS Last pregnancy 3 yrs ago post partum haemorrhage Chaotic social circumstances

12 Basic investigations Echo demonstrates SPAP of 110 mmhg with right sided dilatation, paradoxical septal motion, good LV and poor RV function with no evidence of a shunt or valvular heart disease

13 Possible Diagnosis 1. Idiopathic PAH 2. APAH with HIV 3. APAH with drugs 4. CTEPH

14 CTPA

15 Diagnosis 1. Idiopathic PAH 2. APAH with HIV 3. APAH with drugs 4. CTEPH

16 In pregnancy the need for further investigation is determined by the need for diagnostic certainty and prognostic information

36 Echo RV mildly dilated Normal RV function spap 45mmHg + RAP LV normal ISWD 220m Needle-phobic Counselled re risk of mortality and offered termination Pt chose to proceed with pregnancy Commenced sildenafil 25mg tds at 13/40

37 Some improvement on sildenfil WHO II/III Nebulised iloprost added at 23/40 Pt non-compliant with neb iloprost Remained WHO II/III with stable ISWD Echo unchanged

38 Individual management plans

39 Planned CS at 34 weeks Pt refused combined spinal epidural Commenced on iv iloprost in addition to sildenafil for few days CS under GA Moderate bleeding Low dose syntocinon infusion Monitored with C-Line and LiDCO Minor increase CVP diuretics commenced Day 2 platelets fell iv iloprost increased Cardiac Arrest

40 The optimal plan from the perspective of the multi-professional team may not coincide with the wishes of the patient

41 Conclusions Pregnancy remains high risk but outlook improved Risk Stratification to confidently recommend continuation of pregnancy is difficult Milder PH (? Ca ++ responders) may have good outcome However still significant risk of deterioration Patients with PH should be advised of high risk of pregnancy with clear contraceptive advice and if needed early interruption of pregnancy
