Abstract

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.
