title: Right atrial vegetation in left ventricular-right atrial communication.
abstract: We report a case of right-sided endocarditis with left ventricular-right atrial communication in which right atrial vegetation was demonstrated by two-dimensional echocardiography. The present case demonstrates that the right atrial vegetation in ventricular septal defect is suggestive of left ventricular-right atrial communication.
