Aortic coarctation indicates a narrowing at some point along the course of aorta. Descrete coarctation is much commoner than tubular hypoplasia. Bonnet divided coarctation into infant type, occurring proximal to the aortoductal junction with patency of ductus and as adult type, tending to occur distally to the point of insertion of arterial ligament1. An infant with severe coarctation of the aorta may present with symptoms of congestive heart failure, having been well days before. Subsequently they may develop renal failure and feature of hypoperfusion to other organs. So the infant becomes acutely, seriously and even critically ill2. Any infant with such critical symptoms need urgent intervention which includes medical management, surgical intervention and balloon angioplasty. Here we are reporting a case of coarctation of aorta who needed balloon angioplasty at 4 month of age after end to end anastomosis surgery for complete cure.
