We report a case in which a 10-month-old infant underwent an unsuccessful attempt at percutaneous pulmonary balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) due to cardiac perforation. The child was subsequently managed by median sternotomy, suture of the bleeding site in the right atrium and intraoperative PBV through a sheath placed in the right ventricular outflow tract.
