Pediheart: Pediatric Cardiology Today show

Summary: This week we delve into the world of ACHD when we review a recent large data evaluation from the team at Erasmus University in the Netherlands regarding outcomes of DTGA/Arterial Switch patients who have gone through pregnancy. How do these patients fare in general? What sort of pre-pregnancy evaluation should these patients have? Where should their offspring be delivered? Is a maternal fetal medicine expert required for all? Do all DTGA/Switch patients require tertiary care centers? Dr. Karishma Ramlakhan, PhD candidate at Erasmus University shares her deep insights this week. doi: 10.1161/JAHA.120.018176
