    We report the case of a woman with scleroderma who had severe, early-onset preeclampsia on 2 consecutive pregnancies. With a treatment that included aspirin, heparin, and a nitric oxide donor, her third pregnancy ended with a healthy neonate at term. Nitric oxide donors and heparin may play a preventive role on placental dysfunction in scleroderma.
