We present the case of a 3-year-old boy with bicuspid aortic valve, aortic coarctation, and left ventricular non-compaction. The diagnosis was made post-natally with ultrasonography and was verified by cardiac MRI. Aortic coarctation was initially repaired surgically. At age 3 months, recoarctation and heart failure developed. Balloon angioplasty was performed with immediate improvement. At age 3 years, the patient remains asymptomatic and normotensive.
