Abstract
- Before the arrival of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) modulators women with CF and impaired lung function were experiencing a high risk of complications and mortality during and the years after pregnancy. The arrival of the highly efficient CFTR modulator, Elexacaftor-Tezacaftor-Ivacaftor (ETI) resulted in an improvement of lung function, quality of life and fertility. Here we report a case of successful pregnancy and uncomplicated delivery for a CF patient with severely impaired lung function receiving ETI prior to conception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
