Most of the patients were well and asymptomatlc 10-17 years after surgery, excluding three patients who were in New York Heart Association Functional Class II. Seventeen patients had a total of twenty-four successful pregnancies and deliveries. There were five abortions (13.8%) and three small-for-date babies (12.5%). None of the 24 infants had any cardiac or extracardiac anomalies. The pregnancies were relatively well tolerated and there were no life-threatening cardiac complications, however, serious ventricular arrythmias (Lown grade 3-4A) occurred at delivery in some patients. For a patient with some residual abnormalities after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot, especially those with a large cardiothoracic ratio, it is important to reassess the cardiac state before pregnancy and, if once pregnant, to anticipate the possible occurrence of serious ventricular arrythmias during labor.}, pages = {99--106}, title = { Expected Pregnancy and its Outcome in Women after Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot: Particular emphasis on evaluation of late serious ventricular arrhythmias}, volume = {1}, year = {1986} }
