Isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum

Two cases of isolated left ventricular diverticulum are presented. A 12-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, both asymptomatic, were admitted to ourDepartment for evaluation of an abnormal electrocardiogram and an abnormalcardiac silhouette, respectively. Both patients had the diagnosis confirmedby c...

Zusammenfassung:	Two cases of isolated left ventricular diverticulum are presented. A 12-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl, both asymptomatic, were admitted to ourDepartment for evaluation of an abnormal electrocardiogram and an abnormalcardiac silhouette, respectively. Both patients had the diagnosis confirmedby cardiac catheterization and angiography and underwent successfulsurgical correction of the abnormality. We discuss the diagnosis,prognosis, and surgical treatment of this entity and we advocate earlysurgical treatment for all diagnosed ventricular diverticula, even ifasymptomatic.
