A subaortic left ventricular diverticulum (SLVD) represents an extremely rare congenital anomaly. It can be asymptomatic but sometimes develops fatal complications. Treatment has been debated due to limited experience. We present the successful treatment of a giant SLVD with aortic regurgitation and stenosis and ascending aorta dilatation. Our goal is to improve understanding of this rare entity.
左心室主动脉下憩室(SLVD)是一种极为罕见的先天性畸形。它可以无症状,但有时会发展为致命并发症。由于经验有限,治疗方法一直存在争议。我们成功治疗了一例伴有主动脉瓣反流和狭窄以及升主动脉扩张的巨大 SLVD。我们的目标是提高对这种罕见疾病的认识。
