    AbstractWe report a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis with a ventricular septal defect (VSD). A 54-year-old female who had a history of dental therapy admitted to our hospital with a fever of unknown origin. Echocardiography showed vegetation attached to the tricuspid valve and small VSD. The direct closure of VSD and tricuspid valve replacement was performed. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.
