Key result
Surgical repair followed by balloon angioplasty for recoarctation successfully managed a child with complex congenital heart disease, leaving him asymptomatic and normotensive at 3 years of age.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the successful management of a rare combination of bicuspid aortic valve, aortic coarctation, and left ventricular non-compaction in a pediatric patient.
We present the case of a 3-year-old boy with bicuspid aortic valve, aortic coarctation, and left ventricular non-compaction. The diagnosis was made post-natally with ultrasonography and was verified by cardiac MRI. Aortic coarctation was initially repaired surgically. At age 3 months, recoarctation and heart failure developed. Balloon angioplasty was performed with immediate improvement. At age 3 years, the patient remains asymptomatic and normotensive.

Karatza et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Bicuspid aortic valve, aortic coarctation, and left ventricular non-compaction (n=1). Surgical repair and balloon angioplasty was evaluated. Surgical repair followed by balloon angioplasty for recoarctation successfully managed a child with complex congenital heart disease, leaving him asymptomatic and normotensive at 3 years of age.
