Key result
Multidisciplinary emergency management and supportive care led to two consecutive successful maternal and neonatal outcomes in a 21-year-old woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
Why the study?
Eisenmenger syndrome in pregnancy carries high maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, prompting report of a case to clarify teamwork in emergency management.

May support multidisciplinary care in selected Eisenmenger pregnancies; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Eisenmenger’s syndrome is a very rare condition in pregnant women. The incidence of ES is about 3% of the pregnant patients with congenital heart defects; however, it can be accompanied with high incidence of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Therefore, these patients should have efficient contraception or termination of pregnancy in the first trimester. We present two poorly-controlled consecutive pregnancies with good outcomes in a woman with ES to clarify the appropriate function of teamwork in the management of emergency situations in similar cases. Alongside teamwork, good prenatal care is also important because it can result in elective termination in higher gestational age of pregnancy.

Soha Mirreza (2019) conducted a case report in Eisenmenger's Syndrome in pregnancy (n=1). Multidisciplinary emergency management and supportive care was evaluated on Maternal and neonatal survival. Multidisciplinary emergency management and supportive care led to two consecutive successful maternal and neonatal outcomes in a 21-year-old woman with Eisenmenger's syndrome.
