Closure of membranous ventricular septal defect of heart by septal leaflet of tricuspid valve.
A case of spontaneous closure of a membranous ventricular septal defect by adhesion of the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve is reported. There was evidence to suggest that thrombi developed in a pouch formed by the adherent leaflet, giving rise to emboli producing remote and recent infarcts in the brain.
