Ann Thorac Surg. 2006 Apr;81(4):e13-5. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2005.12.038.

Abstract

Bronchogenic cysts occurring in the left ventricle are a medical rarity. One successfully operated case is reported herein. The location of the cyst was just between the epicardium and myocardium of the inferior left ventricular wall, adjacent to the apex of the heart. Complete excision was achieved through a left anterolateral thoracotomy without extracorporeal circulation.
