Abstract
A 5-year-old child was operated on for aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT). Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed obliteration of the aortic end of the tunnel, normalization of systemic pressure and mild residual aortic valvular insufficiency. A review of the literature carefully considers the anatomical and clinical findings from previous reports involving 27 other patients, along with suggestions for appropriate surgical management of ALVT.Entities:
