Isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum in an elderly patient that was identified because of an incidental finding during a complete medical checkup.

Abstract:

:Congenital left ventricular diverticulum is a rare cardiac malformation in an elderly patient. It frequently is associated with other cardiac or non-cardiac congenital malformations. We present an asymptomatic elderly patient, evaluated because of an incidental finding of a left ventricular anatomic change on chest computed tomography during a complete medical checkup. The diagnosis of isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum was confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. With the general use of a complete medical checkup, the incidental findings of patients with isolated congenital left ventricular diverticulum might increase, which might allow for a valid estimation of the morbidity and mortality of these patients.

  • Left atrial appendage closure with the Amplatzer™ Cardiac Plug: impact of shape and device sizing on follow-up leaks.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:The Amplatzer Cardiac Plug (ACP) is a relatively new system for left atrial appendage (LAA) closure. In general, the particular design of the device and the variability of the LAA anatomy make the sizing process challenging. The objective of our study was to analyze the impact of the shape and sizing of the ...
