A Heart Elsewhere: The Unusual Diagnosis of a Congenital Ventricular Diverticulum in the Abdomen

We describe the diagnostic process and clinical management...

description Congenital left ventricular (LV) diverticulum is a rare condition characterized by the presence of a contractile appendix originating usually from the cardiac apex, but with high variability in location, dimension, and clinical presentation. We describe the diagnostic process and clinical management of an isolated apical diverticulum discovered during fetal life. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
