Abstract
A 24-year-patient with Double-Chambered Right Ventricle (DCRV) got pregnant and echocardiography revealed the pressure of high pressure chamber was equal to the left ventricle and she was told the risk for the index pregnancy and had intracaradiac repair after termination of the pregnancy. Another 23 year patient with Ross procedure was told there was a severe pulmonary stenosis of the composite graft and was recommended re conduit replacement after termination. These two patients had not enough cardiac examination and did not understand well their own cardiac performance. For patients with congenital heart diseases, both education of their cardiac status and preconceptional counseling is necessary when they reach childbearing age depending on the patients’ age and development.
