Double chambered left ventricle—institutional experience of two cases

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.
