[Obstruction of the abdominal aorta and cyanotic heart disease in a 1 year old child (author's transl)].

In a 1 year old child, cyanotic congenital heart disease was complicated by a severe obstruction of the abdominal aorta between the renal arteries and the bifurcation. The surgical treatment consisted of relief of the obstruction in the aorta and a Blalock-Taussig shunt. The general progress was good but there was a ischemia of the left leg for which amputation of the forefoot was required.
