title: Successful repair of aortico-left ventricular tunnel associated with severe aortic stenosis in a newborn.
abstract: A one-day-old infant presented with severe congestive heart failure and a continuous precordial murmur. Noninvasive studies revealed an aortico-left ventricular tunnel and severe valvar aortic stenosis. Angiocardiography confirmed the diagnosis. Patch closure of the tunnel and aortic valvotomy were accomplished successfully at 24 h of age.
