Abstract
A successful operation on an infant with a tunnel through which the aorta communicated with the right ventricle is reported. The diagnosis was suspected preoperatively on the basis of two-dimensional Doppler color echocardiography and confirmed by cardiac catheterization. The aortico-right ventricular tunnel originated independently from the left coronary ostium and above the sinus of Valsalva. Patch closure from inside the tunnel under deep hypothermia was successfully performed. Follow-up is satisfactory 5 years later.
