Pregnancy outcomes in the left-sided valvular stenosis group included a higher cesarean section rate, lower gestational age, and a higher rate of newborn intensive care unit transfer than controls. The composite adverse maternal event rate did not differ significantly between the two groups, but the composite adverse neonatal event rate (premature birth, low birth weight) was higher in the left-sided valvular stenosis group.
