Abstract
We describe the case of a 23-month-old girl with combined immunodeficiency syndrome and a left ventricular aneurysm. Due to the size of the aneurysm and development of an intramural thrombus, repair was performed after confirmation of bone marrow transplant engraftment. Endoventricular circular patch plasty (Dor procedure) was performed, with excellent outcome and normalization of ventricular geometry and function.
