We present the first case report of successful cardiac surgery in a child with idiopathic infantile arterial calcification (IIAC), a disease that is generally lethal within the first 6 months of life. This 27-month-old Hispanic American boy with IIAC successfully underwent cardiothoracic surgery for severe pulmonary valve (PV) stenosis after unsuccessful balloon valvotomy in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
