“…Only autopsy may determine the underlying causes of these conditions. Isolated VOs always have good outcomes, and for those with a midline defect or congenital heart disease, the prognosis rests on the severity and degree of concomitant malformations …”

Objectives: Prenatal ventricular outpouchings (VOs), which include congenital ventricular aneurysms (CAs) and congenital ventricular diverticula (CD), are very rare. We describe the features and outcomes of prenatal VOs diagnosed over a 4-year period.Methods: Retrospective cohort study of cases of prenatal diagnoses of CAs and CD at our center between June 2014 and January 2018. The prenatal and postnatal echocardiogram data were reviewed, and telephone follow-up was conducted of liveborn cases.Results: A total of 25 VOs were identified. Two were lost to follow-up, 15 chose termination of pregnancy, and eight resulted in livebirths. Only two cases underwent autopsy: Histopathology showed that the CA wall was substituted by collagen fibers. At follow-up, none of the eight liveborn babies experienced adverse events, and three VOs near the tricuspid annulus almost disappeared, though one was extremely large. Conclusions:In our center, all liveborn babies with VO had good prognoses. We hypothesize that VOs located near the right ventricular annulus may be caused by prenatally unbalanced pressure, given their decrease in size after birth when the right heart pressure declines.

“…Left ventricular outpouching is a common cardiac imaging presentation and warrants differentiation. Such lesions may indicate a diverticulum, true or false aneurysm, congenital aneurysm, double‐chambered LV, herniation, or occasionally a pericardial cyst. Timely and accurate diagnosis is essential for prognostic assessment and decision making.…”
