Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly. Pregnancy is not always well tolerated in women with congenital heart disease (CHD) such as atrio-ventricular septal defect (AVSD), predominantly due to heart failure deterioration and increasing pulmonary hypertension (PH). Management of those patients are challenging, especially during third trimester and after delivery care. Decision about time of termination, mode of delivery and anaesthetic management are also debatable.
