A 6-year-old female child with aortic coarctation, a ventricular septal defect, and a persistent ductus arteriosus underwent surgical repair by bilateral minithoracotomies. At 6-month follow-up, the patient had recovered well, with increased exercise tolerance. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an intact ventricular septum and no significant gradient across the aortic repair.
