Background:
Single atrium with single ventricle, or a two-chambered heart, is an extremely rare congenital malformation. Few cases with two-chambered heart surviving to adulthood have been reported.
Case Summary:
We reported an adult female patient with a two-chambered heart and situs inversus totalis accompanied by multiple pregnancies and abortions. Magnetic resonance imaging detected a two-chambered heart. B-ultrasound-guided uterine aspiration was performed to absorb 8 g and 10 g of organized villus and decidual tissues, respectively, with a small amount of bleeding. Postoperatively, cyanosis and fatigue-induced shortness of breath were gradually relieved. The patient has currently outlived all similar cases reported so far.
Conclusion:
Hemodynamic changes in pregnant women with two-chambered heart impaired cardiac function, responsible for hypoperfusion and miscarriage.
