Signs of the left bronchus compression, caused by aneurysmatic dilatation of the aortic root with severe aortic regurgitation, occurred 5 months after repair of the truncus arteriosus with interrupted aortic arch in an 85-day-old infant. At reoperation the dilated ascending aorta was replaced with a 14-mm Dacron tube. The aortic valve was replaced with an 18-mm Carbomedics valve. Compression of the left bronchus and the right pulmonary artery were released. The right pulmonary artery was enlarged with a pericardial patch and the original homograft was replaced with a new one. The patient remains in good clinical condition 2 years later.
