Although, double inlet left ventricle is a rare congenital heart defect, it is still treated by pulmonary artery banding in developing countries. We report a successful pregnancy outcome in a patient with pulmonary artery banding. Patient condition worsened by 34 weeks gestation and she developed severe reduction of diastolic blood flow. Cesarean section was done and she gave birth to a boy observed in NICU for two weeks and both were discharged in good condition. It is possible for patients with pulmonary artery banding for double inlet left ventricle to carry on pregnancy but with vigilant and close follow up.
