Abstract
We describe two patients with left ventricular diverticula which were seen during routine left ventriculography. The diverticula were probably incidental findings and asymptomatic. A review of the literature to determine associated cardiac and extra-cardiac abnormalities and related morbidity and mortality with emphasis of potential treatment strategies is presented.
