Successful Outcome of a Post-dated Pregnancy in a Patient with Uncorrected Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia

Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9

Abstract

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease, with an overall incidence of around 10% of all congenital heart diseases. TOF with pulmonary atresia is at the extreme end of the anatomic spectrum which is difficult to correct surgically. We have discussed here a rare case of a post-dated pregnancy with uncorrected TOF with pulmonary atresia and its successful pregnancy outcome in a 24-year-old woman at a tertiary care centre with a multidisciplinary approach.
