Clin Case Rep. 2023 Dec 5;11(12):e8017. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8017. eCollection 2023 Dec.

Abstract

We report a 47-year-old man who presented with right-sided heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a tunnel-shaped communication (ventricular septal defect) between the left ventricle and the right ventricle with a significant left-to-right shunt. The VSD is connected to the lateral wall of the right ventricle by a large tunnel.

Keywords: adult congenital heart disease; congenital heart disease; tunnel shaped VSD; ventricular septal defect.
