## TL;DR

This case report details the challenges of managing a high-risk pregnancy in a woman with Fontan physiology and suspected placenta accreta.

## Contribution

The case highlights the complexities of managing pregnancy in patients with single ventricle physiology and suspected placenta accreta.

## Key findings

- The patient presented with placental abruption at 32 weeks of gestation.
- Management required coordinated care across specialties to optimize outcomes.
- Fontan physiology complicates pregnancy and increases maternal and fetal risks.

## Abstract

This manuscript reviews a complex case of a gravida 3, para 2 (G3P2) parturient with Fontan physiology, complicated by suspected placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) versus massive subchorionic thrombohematoma (MST), presenting with placental abruption at 32 weeks of gestation. This case highlights the intricacies of managing pregnancy in patients with single ventricle physiology, underscoring the necessity for comprehensive, coordinated care across specialties to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes.
