“…Two-dimensional TEE has limitations as it is often difficult to pinpoint the anatomical location of the anomaly and its relationship to adjacent structures [15]. For example, it is difficult to visualize a TV defect in a patient with an infravalvular Gerbode lesion using two-dimensional imaging [24], although M-mode echocardiography can reveal an indicative high-frequency systolic fluttering of the TV [24], [83]. Real-time (RT) three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography is more suitable for these anatomical anomalies [15], [24], [84].…”

The purpose of this paper is to survey the literature on Gerbode defect and provide an overview of its history, anatomy, development, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. The available literature on this topic, including case reports, was thoroughly reviewed. Gerbode defect is defined as abnormal shunting between the left ventricle and right atrium resulting from either a congenital defect or prior cardiac insults. The pathophysiology underlying the development of Gerbode defect is a disease process that injures the atrioventricular septum and leads to the abnormal shunting of blood. Although the most prevalent cause of Gerbode defect has historically been congenital, an increasing trend towards acquired cases has recently been reported owing to improved diagnostic capabilities and a greater number of invasive cardiac procedures. In conclusion, Gerbode defect is an increasingly recognized condition that warrants further study.

“…The anatomic deficiencies of the tricuspid valve which accompany infravalvular Gerbode defects are not readily visible with two‐dimensional imaging. An important clue to their presence, however, is high frequency systolic fluttering of the tricuspid valve best seen with M‐mode echocardiography 31,32 (Fig. 6).…”

The Gerbode Defect: Left Ventricular to Right Atrial Communication—Anatomic, Hemodynamic, and Echocardiographic Features

Gerbode defect, left ventricular to right atrial communicationLeft ventricular to right atrial (LV-RA) communications were first described in the 19th century by Thurman. 1 It was not until 1958, however, that interest in this lesion was renewed following the publication by Gerbode et al. 2 of a series of five patients who underwent successful surgical repair. We present herein a case of an acquired Gerbode defect discovered in a young female during pregnancy.A 30-year-old asymptomatic female was referred to our hospital's cardiology clinic for evaluation of a murmur discovered by her obstetrician in her 18th week of an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy. At the age of 17, the patient underwent operative repair of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD). She remained asymptomatic postoperatively and did not seek medical attention until she became pregnant. On examination, there was wide splitting of the second heart sound and a grade 3/6 systolic murmur which was best heard along the left sternal border. A 12-lead electrocardiogram demonstrated normal sinus rhythm at 75 beats per minute with an incomplete right bundle branch block.
