A 21-year-old woman was admitted to Hokkaido University Hospital during the 24 th week of her second pregnancy complaining of dyspnea on exert-ion. Prior to this event she had been well and her previous pregnancy was uneventful. Her heart rate was 116 bpm, BP, 104/68 mmHg, and respirations, 22/ min. There was an accentuated P2 and 3/6 systolic murmur. Electrocardiogram showed right axis devi-ation and right ventricular hypertrophy. Chest roe-ntrogram showed prominence of the main pulmonary arteries with cardiomegaly. Arterial PO2, was 67 mm-Hg in room air. Arterial PO2 increased to 96 mmHg with oxygen (nasal 2l/min). In the 25th week of gestagen, cardiac catheterization was performed. It confirmed pulmonary hypertension (75/40 mmHg) and no shunts were detected by oximetric studies. To promote fetal maturity Dexamethasone was ad-ministered.

By the 29 th week, dyspnea, cough and chest pain became more prominent. Arterial PO2 decreased to 78 mmHg in spite of oxygen administration and platelet aggregation level was abnormally elevated. Because of progressive symptoms, we decided to perform cae-sarian section. A Swan-Ganz catheter was placed in the PA, the pressure was 68/34 mmHg and epidural anesthesia with Xylocaine was employed.

Two minutes after delivery, BP and PA pressure suddenly decreased and she became unconscious. But she recovered in a few minutes by administration of pure oxygen, Dobutamine and Nitroglycerin.

On the next morning of delively, PA pressure was 50/25 mmHg, HR was 100 bpm and her symptoms diminished. But after delivery fibrinogen and platelet aggregation levels were abnormally elevated.

On the 7 th day, she complained of dyspnea again and became cyanotic. Arterial PO2 was 63 mmHg with oxygen administered by mask (FIO2 50%). Onthe 12 th day, cardiac catherization was repeated and PA pressure was 84/45 mmHg. HR also in-creased to 120 bpm. Trial of vaso-dilator therapy with Diltiazem, Captopril or Hydraladine was not effective. Following administration of Heparin, anti-coagulation therapy with Warfarin was started. Platelet-inhibiting drug, Ticlopidine was added. These therapy caused symptomatic improvement. Fibrinogen and platelet aggregation levels decreasedto within normal limits. ISDN, which could reduce the PA pressure, was also added. She was discharged from hospital without oxygen administration 2 months after delivery.

This case suggests impared coagulation ability may cause the deterioration of primary pulmonary hypertension during peripartum. It may be related to pulmonary microemboli. Anti-coagulation therapy is effective to such a patient.
