Methylmalonic acidemia with associated homocystinuria is a rare inborn error of amino acid metabolism affecting energy supply on the cellular level. Its effects on recovery from surgically induced organ ischemia are largely unknown. We report the successful closure of a nonrestrictive ventricular septal defect by following a normothermic strategy combined with ample metabolic substrate supply.
