AbstractPentalogy of Cantrell is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by a combination of severe defects in the middle of the chest and abdomen including intracardiac defects. Survival rate after cardiac surgery is extremely low. We present a successful staged complete repair of an omphalocele, a ventricular septal defect and a sternal defect in a case of pentalogy of Cantrell.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
