This case report demonstrates successful surgical repair of tricuspid valve infective endocarditis and closure of an uncorrected ventricular septal defect in an elderly patient.
İştar et al. (2025) conducted a case report in Infective endocarditis of the tricuspid valve associated with an uncorrected ventricular septal defect (n=1). Surgical repair (tricuspid valve reconstruction and closure of the ventricular septal defect) was evaluated. Surgical repair, including tricuspid valve reconstruction and closure of the ventricular septal defect, was successful in a 63-year-old man with infective endocarditis and an uncorrected VSD.
