Abstract

We present a rare case of left ventricular-to-right atrial communication (Gerbode type defect) associated with blunt thoracic trauma, including echocardiogram and surgical findings. The patient had a successful intervention. Acquired left ventricular-to-right atrial shunts are encountered occasionally in the adult population as a result of aortic valve replacement endocarditis.
