Abstract
We report a case of a 58-year-old woman with rheumatic mitral stenosis scheduled for percutaneous valvuloplasty. Prior left and right ventri cular angiograms showed multiple diverticula at left ventricular apica l and diaphragmatic walls and right ventricular diaphragmatic wall. Ch est x-ray and echocardiogram were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging w as concordant with catheterization findings and ruled out other cardia c malformations. The risk of ventricular perforation changed our indic ation of percutaneous valvuloplasty in favor of open heart commissurot omy.
