Abstract

Congenital left ventricular diverticula are rare cardiac malformations. Few data are available regarding their prevalence, which is estimated to be around 0.04% and 0.7%, according to retrospective series. In our case a diverticular apical lesion of the left ventricle was incidentally found on an urgent thoracic computed tomography scan, performed to rule out abdominal aortic rupture. A thorough evaluation with echocardiography, coronary angiography, ventriculography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging was performed. After discussion in our heart team, which took into consideration the lack of cardiac symptoms, the small size of the diverticulum and the absence of thrombus, we decided on a conservative option.
