Demonstrates that successful pregnancy outcomes are possible in patients with uncorrected tetralogy of Fallot with pulmonary atresia when managed with a multidisciplinary approach.
Supports multidisciplinary care for pregnancy in uncorrected TOF with pulmonary atresia; leaves open need for prospective data before broader recommendations.
Tetralogy of fallot (TOF) is one of the commonest congenital anomalies. TOF is mostly diagnosed early in the life and to reach adulthood, such patients usually require some sort of surgical correction. Management of pregnancy in uncorrected TOF cases poses a significant challenge for obstetrician and team. Most of the time, it ends with significant fetomaternal morbidity or mortality. Here is a case of pregnancy with uncorrected TOF, which was successfully managed with multidisciplinary approach.
