title: A successful pregnancy in a patient with congenital tricuspid stenosis and a patent oval foramen.
abstract: Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease who have obstruction proximal to the pulmonary arteries and, hence, do not develop pulmonary hypertension, can go through pregnancy successfully, if the pregnancy and delivery are adequately cared for, with possible complications in mind. We report a successful pregnancy in a woman with congenital tricuspid stenosis and a patent oval foramen.
