Abstract
We report a patient with stenosis of the native ascending aorta after palli ation of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and aortic atresia. We describe th e approach to diagnosis, temporary support with extracorporeal membrane oxy genation, and successful surgical reintervention. Stenosis of the native as cending aorta is an important, potentially reversible cause of acute, early postoperative ventricular dysfunction.
