Background: Congenital heart disease poses a therapeutic challenge, specifically pulmonary valve stenosis. This has been treated for many years with invasive procedures and bioprostheses, which over time, become dysfunctional due to the accumulation of fibrous tissue and calcification.
Objective: The aim of this study is to describe the use of endovascular management in the right ventricular outflow tract, as the beginning of an ongoing effot to improve pediatric outcomes in developing countries.
Anomalous aortic origin of the left coronary artery from an incorrect aortic sinus has been reported as the second most common causes of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes. Intramural course of the proximal left coronary artery is considered a high-risk morphology. It is associated with a slit-like ostium and elliptical shape of the proximal artery.

This is a more complex and rare presentation than dextro-transposition of great arteries with interrupted aortic arch. The child ultimately succumbed to sepsis before the surgical repair was possible.
