Repair of an aortico-left ventricular tunnel was successfully accomplished on the second day of life in a neonate with severe cardiac failure. During pregnancy an echocardiographic diagnosis of aortic insufficiency (AI) was made and the type of the malformation was completely clarified after birth. Repair was accomplished using an open patch aortoplasty technique as suggested by Bjork.
