Left ventricular diverticulum (LVD) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by an abnormal outpouching of the left ventricular wall. It is often identified during childhood, as it is commonly associated with midline thoracoabdominal defects and other congenital heart abnormalities. Here, we present a 10-month-old boy with a LVD and omphalocele posted for surgical management who had difficulty weaning in the post-operative period. We discuss the unique challenges that necessitate meticulous planning and execution to optimize right ventricular function and prevent pulmonary arterial hypertension in such patients.
左心室憩室（LVD）是一种罕见的先天性异常，其特征为左心室壁出现异常的袋状突出。它常在儿童期被发现，因为它通常与胸腹部中线缺损及其他先天性心脏异常相关。在此，我们报告一名10个月大患有左心室憩室和脐膨出的男孩，其接受手术治疗后在术后脱机过程中遇到困难。我们讨论了在此类患者中为优化右心室功能和预防肺动脉高压而需要精心规划和实施的独特挑战。
