Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency Complicating Tetralogy Of Fallot

삼첨판막폐쇄부전증을 동반한 활로씨 4 증후군[1예 보고]

Approximately 5 percent of infective endocarditis are limited to the right side of the heart, the tricuspid valve being the usual site of involvement. Usually there is no underlying cardiac disease, and the vegetations occur on previously normal tricuspid leaflets. This paper reports a case of bacterial endocarditis involving the bio-tricuspid valve in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, and who required prosthetic valve replacement in addition to surgical therapy for the congenital lesions.
