  • Title: Transcatheter closure of atrial septal communication during pregnancy in women with Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve and cyanosis.
    Author: Houser L, Zaragoza-Macias E, Jones TK, Aboulhosn J.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2015 Apr; 85(5):842-6. PubMed ID: 25511470.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter atrial septal defect occlusion is described in three pregnant patients with Ebstein's anomaly and exercise-induced cyanosis. Procedures took place in the second and third trimester. Careful hemodynamic testing was performed prior to permanent atrial septal occlusion to confirm the capacity of the right ventricle to accept the entirety of systemic venous return in the volume-expanded state of pregnancy. Outcomes for mother and fetus were favorable in all patients with significant reduction in maternal symptoms and resolution of cyanosis.
