Rupture of a congenital left ventricular diverticulum is extremely rare. This case report details the successful surgical repair of a ruptured left ventricular diverticulum in an infant.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Congenital Heart Defects

Background:

  • Congenital diverticulum of the left ventricle (LV) is a rare condition.
  • Rupture of a congenital LV diverticulum is exceptionally rare, posing significant clinical challenges.

Observation:

  • An 11-month-old infant presented with a ruptured left ventricular diverticulum.
  • The rupture presented a critical surgical emergency in a pediatric patient.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical repair of the ruptured congenital left ventricular diverticulum was achieved.
  • The infant patient tolerated the surgical intervention well, indicating a positive outcome.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the feasibility of surgical intervention for rare congenital cardiac anomalies.
