Congenit Heart Dis. 2006 Nov;1(6):332-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1747-0803.2006.00058.x.

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.
