Williams syndrome (WS) is a rare congenital developmental disorder caused by the deletion of between 26 and 28 genes on chromosome 7q11.23. For patients with WS, in view of the particularity of the supravalvular aortic stenosis, choosing appropriate arterial cannula, maintaining higher perfusion pressure as well as strengthening myocardial protection during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is essential to the clinical outcome. Here, we report a child with pulmonary artery valvular stenosis who failed to wean off CPB because of malignant arrhythmias and cardiac insufficiency after surgical correction of pulmonary valvular stenosis. With the assistance of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), emergency cardiac catheterization revealed supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS), which suggests a suspected missed diagnosis of WS. Finally, under the support of ECMO, the cardiac function gradually returned to normal, and the child was discharged 23 days after surgery.

How we have come to an understanding of Williams syndrome as a multisystem disorder is reminiscent of the seven blind men and the elephant. Cardiologists such as Williams et al and Beuren described the cardiovascular manifestations of the condition, particularly supravalvular aortic stenosis, in 1961. Earlier, Fanconi et al and others reported cases of idiopathic hypercalcemia of infancy primarily from an endocrinologic point of view. In 1963, Black and Carter described the association of the two conditions with a set of dysmorphic facial features which, unfortunately, has been labeled `elfin' facies. The syndrome was described further in the 1970s by Jones and Smith. In 1978, because of the work of Bennett et al, the behavioral phenotype began to become known.
