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

Background: 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.

Objetive: Present other management options for ventricular diverticula, different from surgical options, using alternative materials that are not used very often in daily practice.

Method: A detailed description of a case successfully managed with these new treatment modalities.

Results: Endovascular management of the left ventricular diverticulum, diagnosed prenatally in the patient presented, was successful after initial failure with surgical management.

Conclusions: Endovascular management of ventricular diverticula, using alternative materials to those commonly used, is an attractive option with satisfactory results in these patients.
