Pregnancy with uncorrected DORV features fetal growth restriction, emergency cesarean, and postpartum hemorrhage.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the rare occurrence and complex management of pregnancy in a patient with uncorrected double outlet right ventricle, VSD, and pulmonary stenosis.
Warrants caution in managing uncorrected DORV pregnancies; leaves open need for prospective data on optimal strategies.
Pregnancy in a woman with double outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis is presented. Her previous two pregnancies ended in fetal losses. In the current pregnancy, she had thrombocytopenia, placenta previa, and severe fetal growth restriction. She underwent an emergency caesarean section followed by post-partum haemorrhage and COVID-19 infection. Literature review has been performed.

Sheokand et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Double outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis in pregnancy (n=1). Emergency caesarean section was evaluated. Pregnancy in a woman with uncorrected double outlet right ventricle was complicated by fetal growth restriction, requiring emergency caesarean section and followed by post-partum haemorrhage.
