The pentalogy of Cantrell is a rare and fatal malformation. A left ventricular diverticulum is a common finding of this pentalogy. The present report summarizes our experience with three patients who suffered from pentalogy of Cantrell. All three cases had a left ventricular diverticulum. The intracardiac malformations and the left ventricular diverticulum were corrected simultaneously. All patients recovered uneventfully. One‐stage surgical correction could improve short‐term outcomes in selected patients with pentalogy of Cantrell. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12309 (J Card Surg 2014;29:413–416)
