title: [Locoregional anesthesia for cesarean section in full-term pregnancy with single ventricle].
abstract: A parturient at full-term diagnosed of a single ventricle and with the fetus in podalic presentation underwent scheduled delivery by cesarean section under epidural anesthesia without complications. The number of women with this cyanogenic congenital heart disease who reach childbearing age is high. The rate of death among parturients with mild or moderate heart disease is low; however, mortality is higher for high-risk women for whom conception is considered contraindicated due to heart disease. Few cases of single-ventricle congenital heart disease have been reported in the literature.
