Abstract

A 24-year-old woman at 37 weeks gestation, with an uncorrected atrioventricular canal defect and incipient congestive heart failure is presented. This rare defect is part of the larger group of endocardial cushion defects. The peripartum anesthetic management of this condition has not been described. Our patient had a large atrial septal defect, a common regurgitant atrioventricular valve, a large left-to-right shunt and a small ventricular septal defect. Her pregnancy was maintained until she developed symptoms of congestive heart failure. We discuss her peripartum management, monitoring and anesthetic choices.
