Abstract

Aortico-left ventricular tunnel (ALVT) is a very rare congenital anomaly. Noncompaction of the left ventricle or “spongy myocardium” is another rare congenital cardiomyopathy. We report probably the first case in which these two rare anomalies causing pump failure coexisted in a 4-year-old male and the tunnel was successfully treated nonsurgically. Transcatheter closure of ALVT with the Amplatzer duct occluder is feasible and safe in a case of noncompaction of the LV with reduced LV function.
