Abstract
A neonate underwent arterial switch operation, supported on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for 3 days. Two weeks later, a pseudoaneurysm was seen on an echocardiogram, and a free wall rupture was suggested. Prompt surgery was performed, a free wall rupture assessed, and a patch with BioGlue was applied successfully. One year later, the child is in good condition.
