Two successful pregnancies in a patient with Fontan-repaired dextrocardiac univentricular heart
Abstract
Univentricular dextrocardia is a rare complex congenital cyanotic heart disease. With the improvement of medical and surgical care, a greater number of women with complex congenital heart diseases have survived up to the childbearing age. Pregnancy with univentricular dextrocardia and Fontan circulation increases maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. We report a case of successful management of two pregnancies in a woman with Fontan repaired dextrocardiac univentricular heart.
