Implementing the MDT decreased the rate of urgent caesarean section and heart failure in patients with PH and no maternal deaths occurred in the post-MDT group. Pregnant women with severe PH and WHO FC III/IV might have a poor prognosis, whereas the use of pulmonary-specific therapy might improve outcomes of pregnancy.
