Introduction: A large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum can cause troublesome symptoms for patients, including dysphagia and reflux, ultimately, leading to debilitating weight loss.
Case Description/technique Description: We present a case of a 68-year-old female with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus presented with a large epiphrenic esophageal diverticulum with dysphagia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and associated weight loss. The patient underwent a robotic-assisted laparoscopic epiphrenic diverticulectomy with esophageal myotomy.

Esophageal diverticula are relatively uncommon, especially supradiaphragmatic diverticula. Esophageal diverticula are normally managed by observation; however, surgical treatment is sometimes indicated for large diverticula or diverticula in highly symptomatic patients. Surgical approaches for esophageal diverticula include thoracoscopic or laparoscopic resection; however, consensus has not yet been reached on the optimal approach.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the effectiveness and safety of conventional catheter ablation compared to a three-dimensional (3D) mapping system for treating posteroseptal accessory pathways connected to coronary sinus diverticula.
- The research analyzed data from 24 patients who underwent the procedure between January 2013 and July 2022, revealing that while complications occurred in the conventional group, none were observed in the 3D mapping group.
- Results indicated that 3D mapping was superior, as it resulted in shorter procedure and fluoroscopy times, higher success rates, and fewer complications compared to the traditional method.

We report a very rare case of giant pericardial cyst with left ventricular compression on echocardiography. A 61-year-old man visited our hospital with a feeling of chest tightness. A cardiologist ruled out cardiac diseases of the patients and he was referred to us for examination and treatment of an abnormal left lung field shadow on chest x-ray.
