Abstract

We describe the unusual case of a patient with an antenatal aorto-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) diagnosis and severe left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who underwent successful repair immediately after birth. To the best of our knowledge, no such case has been reported in the English literature. Our case demonstrated that neonates at the worst end of the ALVT spectrum can survive and achieve normalization of LV function through a timely and multidisciplinary approach.
