Abstract
A Gerbode defect that comprises a left ventricular to right atrial shunt is usually a congenital cardiac condition. Rarely, acquired Gerbode defects secondary to aortic or tricuspid valve endocarditis have been reported. We present a case of a Gerbode defect caused by catheter ablation of the AV node in a patient with a severely dilated cardiomyopathy and refractory atrial fibrillation.
