Submission Description:
High Risk Pregnancies are more prevalent than they were 10-15 years ago. Pregnancies affected by pulmonary arterial hypertension are rare, yet this medical condition escalates the risks for maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. A multidisciplinary approach and advanced treatment modalities can facilitate positive outcomes for both mother and newborn.
