| pubmed-article:9480589 | pubmed:abstractText | In patients after atrial switch operation (Mustard or Senning procedure) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA), the anatomic right (anterior) ventricle works as the systemic ventricle. Although this is associated with an increased rate of congestive heart failure, the prognosis for long-term survival is good. Therefore a large proportion of these patients has reached their reproductive years and consult cardiologists and obstetricians because they plan a pregnancy or are already pregnant. Because of the substantial hemodynamic changes and the increase in cardiac output during pregnancy, potential risk factors and complications have to be considered. | lld:pubmed |
