Abstract

A case report is presented of a patient with subacute bacterial endocarditis affecting the pulmonary valve. There was no past history of valvular heart disease or narcotic addiction and no other valve was involved. Serial echocardiograms demonstrated the vegetations, but only cross-sectional echocardiography showed the flail movement of the leaflet and the size and shape of the vegetations.

Key Words: Cross-sectional echocardiography • pulmonary regurgitation • infective endocarditis
