Introduction
We report a patient with a Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) and
extensive right-sided IE with initial presentation of leukocytoclastic
vasculitis.
Double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) is a form of right ventricular
outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction caused by anomalous muscular or
fibromuscular bundles dividing the right ventricle (RV) into two
chambers: A proximal high-pressure and a distal low-pressure chamber.
This disorder is commonly associated with membranous ventricular septal
defect (VSD). It is shown that VSD and ventricular outflow tract
obstructions can predispose patients to infective endocarditis (IE) (1,
2).
