Right-Sided Infective Endocarditis, Pulmonary Embolism and Infarction in Adult with Uncorrected Ventricular Septal Defect

Abstract

Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) is very rare and mostly occurs in the tricuspid valve, which pulmonary valve involvement in very rare. Most IE of the pulmonary valve occurs in patients with congenital heart defects. we report a case of the complications of pulmonary valve IE and pulmonary embolism which then causes pulmonary infarction in patients with VSD who have not been corrected. This case successfully underwent surgery for endocarditis/vegetation removal and septal defect closure.
