  Abstract

We describe the first reported case of infected thrombus compression of the right ventricular outflow tract in a Rastelli patient as a complication of pregnancy. This case emphasizes the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography in the assessment of patients with adult congenital heart disease prior to and during pregnancy.

Keywords: Congenital heart defects; Pregnancy; Right ventricular outflow obstruction
