Sammanfattning
Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic heart disease accounting for 5 to 8% of all cases of congenital heart disease. In a cohort of women with corrected Tetralogy of Fallot, followed concerning fertility and pregnancy outcome, we observed two cases of uncomplicated multiple pregnancies. Such pregnancies have not previously been described. Despite the overload on the operated heart resulting from a multiple pregnancy, both women experienced uncomplicated pregnancies and deliveries of healthy children. This reflects the good hemodynamic results of complete repair and meticulous pregnancy follow-up.
