Abstract
Severe pulmonary Arterial Hypertension with Pulmonary Edema with Sepsis in a postnatal mother
with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) followed by LSCS is uncommon. Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is the
commonest adult congenital heart defect (CHD). 15 % of these patients will eventually develop
pulmonary hypertension if left untreated. ASD closure is not recommended when pulmonary
hypertension is irreversible. Congenital heart disease should be considered in the evaluation of
dyspnoea in a young adult. The management of ASD with associated pulmonary hypertension is
difficult. It is pertinent that a detailed hemodynamic assessment be undertaken. The present case
report focusses on a patient with severe ASD with pulmonary hypertension with pulmonary edema
and sepsis who was with 35 weeks of gestation and the control of symptoms during Caesarean
section.
