ABSTRACT
Truncus arteriosus, a rare and complex congenital heart disease, is hallmarked by a single great vessel (truncus) that arises over a large ventricular septal defect and provides both the pulmonary and systemic circulation. Pregnancy reports after repair for truncus arteriosus are scarce. Therefore, the maternal and offspring outcomes are unknown. We report the outcome of a pregnancy in an 18-year-old woman with repaired truncus arteriosus. Despite severe and symptomatic deterioration of truncal valve regurgitation, she successfully delivered a healthy child, and the valve function recovered within 2 weeks postpartum.
