Tratamiento endovascular exitoso de aneurisma del ventrículo izquierdo en un paciente pediátrico

Abstract

Aneurysms and diverticula of the left ventricle are rare entities in childhood, with a prevalence of less than 0.1%. Described since 1886, as a severe and potentially fatal disease if not corrected, mainly due to the presence of associated anomalies and the risk of rupture. Present other management options for ventricular diverticula, different from surgical options, using alternative materials that are not used very often in daily practice. A detailed description of a case successfully managed with these new treatment modalities. Endovascular management of the left ventricular diverticulum, diagnosed prenatally in the patient presented, was successful after initial failure with surgical management. Endovascular management of ventricular diverticula, using alternative materials to those commonly used, is an attractive option with satisfactory results in these patients.
