An unfortunate case of subaortic left ventricular diverticulum

Abstract A 38-year-old man presented with exertional angina of 1-year duration. Treadmill was strongly positive. Coronary angiogram revealed a significant phasic systolic compression of the left main and the proximal left circumflex artery. Echo and MRI revealed a subaortic left ventricle diverticul...

Description
Summary:Abstract A 38-year-old man presented with exertional angina of 1-year duration. Treadmill was strongly positive. Coronary angiogram revealed a significant phasic systolic compression of the left main and the proximal left circumflex artery. Echo and MRI revealed a subaortic left ventricle diverticulum causing compression of the coronary vessels. Before the planned surgery, the patient had sudden deterioration with cardiogenic shock and could not be saved.
