The Sano variant of the stage 1 Norwood procedure is commonly performed as initial palliation for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. We present a case of a 2-year-old who developed a mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the Sano graft and discuss the importance of imaging and operative management of this rare presentation. Localization and full description of the lesion require compulsive, often multimodality imaging.
