Abstract
Aorticoleft ventricular tunnel ALVT is a rare congenital heart disease presenting as congestive heart failure in the neonatal or early infantile period due to severe aortic regurgitation AR We presented a 1monthold boy with ALVT originally diagnosed by twodimensional echocardiography however the detailed anatomical features were not ascertained Realtime threedimensional echocardiography RT3DE could provide clear images of the threedimensional structures of ALVT just the same as those of surgical findings ALVT originated from the left coronary cusp and ran an oblique path to the subvalvular orifice having a narrow segment in the middle RT3DE is a clinically useful diagnostic tool to clarify the detailed anatomy of ALVT
