We report a neonate with aortic arch hypoplasia and coarctation, in whom patency of the arterial duct could not be re-established and who was too ill to undergo primary surgical correction safely. This patient was treated in two stages: 1) angioplasty and stenting, 2) surgical correction. The safe period for surgical correction may be 2-3 weeks after angioplasty and stenting.
