Diverticulum of the left ventricle. Report of a case.

Abstract

Congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle of the heart is considered to be a rare malformation. Up to 1958, Keith, Rowe, and Vlad could only collect 13 cases from the published reports. Successful operations had been recorded by Roessler (1944), Skapinker (1951), Potts, DeBoer, and Johnson (1953), and Mustard, Duckworth, Rowe, and Dolan (1958).
