Abstract
Although IE incidence has increased due to the gradual increase of
survival rate in congenital heart disease (CHD) children, the mitral and
aortic valves are the most commonly involved, while tricuspid valve
infection is rare, and pulmonary valve involvement is extremely rare. To
improve the diagnosis in echocardiography, we described two cases of
right-sided infective endocarditis (RSIE), explained the ideas of
ultrasonic diagnosis, analyzed the differential diagnosis, and
demonstrated the important role of echocardiography in diagnosing and
treating children.
