Key result
A 35-year-old female with a small restrictive ventricular septal defect paradoxically developed left-sided infective endocarditis with vegetation on the high-pressure right coronary cusp.
Case Report (n=1)
This case illustrates a rare presentation of paradoxical left-sided infective endocarditis on the aortic valve in a patient with a small restrictive VSD, likely explained by Bernoulli's phenomenon.

Alerts to aortic valve destruction risk in VSD endocarditis; leaves open need for targeted surveillance studies.
Das et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Infective endocarditis in restrictive ventricular septal defect (n=1). Small restrictive ventricular septal defect was evaluated. A 35-year-old female with a small restrictive ventricular septal defect paradoxically developed left-sided infective endocarditis with vegetation on the high-pressure right coronary cusp.
