The authors investigated a group of 95 pregnant women with congenital heart disease. In two induced abortion was indicated fur cardiac reason (major left-to-right shunt in ASD II and in a patient with a non-corrected TOF with a significant right-to-left shunt). In the remainder the course of pregnancy was not complicated. From the total number of 132 deliveries only six were by Caesarean section, five times on obstetric grounds. One infant died, delivery during the 29th week by Caesarean section on account of premature escape of amniotic fluid--mother with a history of radial correction of TOF. Other relevant data are summarized in a table. In the conclusion the authors summarize basic provisions indicated in pregnant women with congenital heart disease.
