Abstract : ADHESION OF TRICUSPID valve leaflets around margins of a perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) gives rise to aneurysmal transformation of the membranous septum, which partially or completely occludes blood flow through the VSD. A case of a perimembranous VSD with a left ventricular–to–right atrial (LV-to-RA) shunt, which was misinterpreted as a tricuspid regurgitation (TR) jet on preoperative transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), is reported. Correct diagnosis was made by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
