Concomitant Gerbode‐Like Defect and Anterior Mitral Leaflet Perforation after Aortic Valve Replacement for Endocarditis

We present a case of concomitant left ventricle (LV) to right atrial shunt (Gerbode‐like defect) and anterior mitral leaflet perforation in a 32‐year‐old male after aortic valve replacement for infective endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve. This case emphasises that intra‐operative transesophageal...

Summary:We present a case of concomitant left ventricle (LV) to right atrial shunt (Gerbode‐like defect) and anterior mitral leaflet perforation in a 32‐year‐old male after aortic valve replacement for infective endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve. This case emphasises that intra‐operative transesophageal echocardiography is a sine qua non for valvular surgical procedures.
