ABSTRACT
Abnormalities of the right ventricular outflow tract are common within the spectrum of congenital heart disease. Reconstruction of this outflow with or without the use of prosthetic material forms an integral part of many surgical procedures. Consequently, this part of the heart constitutes an important locus for infective endocarditis. Focused literature on infective endocarditis of the right ventricular outflow is sparse. This narrative review therefore attempts to collate the currently available data on a subject that is gaining importance because of the increasing numbers of surgical and catheter-based interventions on the right ventricular outflow.
