Echocardiography. 2008 Sep;25(8):904-7. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8175.2008.00700.x.

Abstract

Ventricular septal defect associated with infundibular pulmonary stenosis is a relatively uncommon congenital cardiac defect. We report the first case of a patient with perimembranous small ventricular septal defect and infundibular stenosis suffered from pulmonary valve endocarditis and septic pulmonary embolism.
