Gerbode ventricular septal defect diagnosed using cardiac CTA imaging

This report describes the ability of computed tomography angiography (CTA) imaging of the heart to visualize an acquired shunt between the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and the right atrium (RA) (Gerbode defect). Previously, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay of diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, the use of cardiac CTA imaging to visualize and diagnose th...

Unusual presentation of Gerbode defect.

Multimodality imaging of a Gerbode defect.

A 76-year-old woman with a history of aortic valve replacement was referred for echocardiography for routine postoperative evaluation. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed evidence of an intracardiac shunt between the left ventricle (LV) and the right atrium (RA) (Figure 1A). A transesophageal echocardiogram confirmed the presence of an LV to RA shunt consistent with a Gerbode defect (Figure 1...
