Abstract:
: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 congenital malformations. The treatment of choice, especially in symptomatic patients, is surgical resection, while in asymptomatic patients anticoagulation therapy is indicated.
