Mohammed Wahaj Ali et al. J Card Surg. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Background: Double Chambered Left Ventricle is a very rare congenital cardiac condition with limited cases reported in literature, etiology of which is obscure and presentation can be varied.

Aim of the study: To share our experience of two diverse cases of Double Chambered Left Ventricle at our institute.

Results: Two diverse cases of Double Chambered Left Ventricle were appropriately diagnosed and successfully managed. One of which one was congenital and the other was acquired METHODS: Both the patients had an uneventful peri-operative period.

Conclusions: Double Chambered Left Ventricle is a condition which remains an enigma. Diagnosis requires a high degree of radiological suspicion for prompt diagnosis and good surgical outcomes.

Keywords: cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; computed tomography; congenital ventricular anomaly; double chambered left ventricle.
