title: Aortico-left ventricular tunnel and left ventricular non-compaction: a case series.
abstract: Aortico-left ventricular tunnel and left ventricular non-compaction are rare congenital cardiac anomalies with varied clinical presentations and sparsely described co-existence in the medical literature. Owing to the limited information about these diagnoses in tandem, we present four cases of aortico-left ventricular tunnel and left ventricular non-compaction from our institution and discuss the clinical presentation, management, and follow-up.
