Abstract:

We report a rare combination of congenital cardiac malformations in an asymptomatic adult—a bicuspid aortic valve and double fibrous diverticula of the left ventricle. We describe the presentation and course of events followed by a brief discussion of ventricular diverticula and the management of this rare combination of anomalies.
