Isolated true contractile left ventricular diverticulum in an adult patient.

Isolated Congenital Left Ventricular Diverticulum in Adults

Isolated congenital ventricular diverticulum or aneurysm is rare and usually arises from the left ventricle. The presentation of this condition is diverse. We report three cases of isolated congenital left ventricular diverticula. The age range was 17-30 years. Chest X-ray provided the earliest clinical suspicion in these three cases of a cardiac anomaly which was diagnosed by echocardiography ...

Peripheral arterial embolism due to a left ventricular diverticulum in a young adult.

A 32-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital after experiencing a peripheral arterial embolism. Investigation of the possible embolic sources in an otherwise asymptomatic patient revealed the existence of a left ventricular diverticulum. The left ventricular diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly, either isolated or as a part of a syndrome including other congen...

Isolated left ventricular diverticulum in an adult patient presenting with acute coronary syndrome.

Congenital left ventricular diverticulum in an adult.

A previously healthy 43-year-old woman presentedwithatypical chest discomfort. On physical examination, no abnormal findings were obtained. The electrocardiogram was not suggestive of ischaemia. Echocardiography revealed an aneurysm extending from the left ventricular posterior wall (Panel C). This pouch showed paradoxical contraction with a relatively thin wall. No thrombus was seen in the lef...

Diverticulum, or not Diverticulum, That Is the Question! Discussing About a Case of Left Ventricular Outpouching Associated With Bicuspid Aortic Valve Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance

Congenital left ventricular outpouchings (LVOs) are infrequent myocardial malformations, comprising various overlapping abnormalities, whose characterization is often intricate in clinical practice using traditional non-invasive techniques. We describe a rare case of LVO associated with bicuspid aortic valve incidentally found in an asymptomatic adult patient. The LVO was located at basal level...
