Abstract

Myocardial ischaemia and infarction in pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum with right ventricular-dependent coronary circulation is a well-established complication. We report an interesting case of an acquired aneurysm in the ventricular septum in a patient who underwent staged palliation.
