2D and 3D echocardiography of a left ventricular diverticulum.
A real time transthoracic 3D study of a left ventricular diverticulum established through a narrow orifice located between the aortic and mitral valves is presented. Diverticular morphology was reconstructed and its volumes were calculated by this technique for the first time in the literature.
