Abstract
In this paper, we present a giant left atrial diverticulum (LAD) in a 10-year-old girl, whose three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction was used to help diagnosis and surgical positioning. Previously reported cases were reviewed, and the clinical characteristics of this disease also was summarized to improve the diagnosis and treatment of LAD.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
