Thank you doctor for your great reply. I sure hope whatever decision the doctor makes is the right one! I hate when there are discrepancies and treatment options, especially if it concerns something the doctors don't seem to have much experience with. I appreciate the reply very much since this sort of came out of the blue for me.
Coffee, Hopefully you're still awake for this response.
Ventricular diverticulae are a rare outpouching of the heart muscle. They are usually located in the ventricles but can also be located in the atria. They can be right or left sided. They can be associated with congenital heart disease.
Another possiblitly that can sometimes be mistaken for a diverticulum is an aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm of the ventricle. From what I understand, these can sometimes be difficult to distinguish.
There is debate in how ventricular diverticulae are managed. Some debate exist about resection, anticoagulation or conservative management.
What I would further investigate is whether you truly had a congenital diverticulum or if this could be an aquired aneurysm. An aneurysm would require anticoagulation or possibly resection since the risk of embolism is high. Modalities that might be useful could be echo -- possibly transesophageal, or MRI. An aneursym would not have any contractile function.
Hope this helps.
