Abstract
We report a case of an infant who was postnatally diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and an intact atrial septum who underwent emergent atrial decompression followed by the Norwood operation. She was also found to have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia on the left side and a congenital eventration of the right diaphragm, both requiring surgical repair. She was later found to have an anomalous origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right pulmonary artery that was ligated at the time of the bilateral bidirectional Glenn operation. She is currently thriving at home, defying all odds.
