Abstract

We present a report of a Gerbode's defect (left ventricular-right atrial communication) resulting from bacterial endocarditis in a 63-year-old man. Also presented is a brief overview of the literature and a possible preoperative echocardiographic diagnostic criterion relating to this unusual condition.
