A transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated a ventricular septal defect and vegetations on the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. There it is pumped through a one-way valve called the tricuspid valve into the right ventricle. The types of defects found were as follows: absent coronary artery, enlarged coronary artery sinus, secundum-type atrial septal defects, aortic valve defect with fused leaflets creating aortic valvular stenosis, aortic valve defect with fenestrated leaflets, hypoplastic mitral valve annulus, hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus, d-transposition, atrioventricular canal, and both membranous (subaortic) and muscular ventricular septal defects (Table 2). |
