Successful Percutaneous Closure of Gerbode Defect and Right Atrial-Aortic Fistula Following Infective Endocarditis.

ABSTRACT: We report a case of infective endocarditis with a septal abscess that was complicated with abnormal blood flow from the left ventricle to the right atrium (Gerbode defect) along with abnormal blood flow from the aorta to the right atrium (atrial-aortic fistula). This is the first reported case of successful correction of both defects by a percutaneous approach.
