Right atrial vegetation in the presence of a ventricular septal defect is suggestive of left ventricular-right atrial communication.
The presence of right atrial vegetation on echocardiography in a patient with a ventricular septal defect is suggestive of a left ventricular-right atrial communication.

Alerts clinicians to possible LV-RA shunt in VSD with right atrial vegetation; hypothesis-generating case report requiring prospective confirmation.
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.
