Abstract

A rare case of a patient with a large type IV aortico–left ventricular tunnel who underwent successful repair at 1 day after birth was described. To the best of our knowledge, no such cases that aortic opening was over 10 mm have been reported in the English literature. Our case demonstrated no leak or significant aortic regurgitation by a two-patch repair.
