Echocardiography images of Case 1. (A) Color doppler flow imaging (CDFI) shows a ventricular septal defect (VSD) of 0.5 cm (arrow), shunting from left to right. (B) Tricuspid anterior leaflet atrial surface is slightly hyperechoic with a mass of about 0.9 × 0.6 cm (arrow), oscillating with the anterior leaflet. (C) Arrow shows interrupted echo continuity of the anterior lobe of the tricuspid valve (about 0.2 cm). (D) The CDFI shows tricuspid regurgitation, in which a beam of regurgitation comes from the interrupted echo of the anterior lobe of the tricuspid valve (arrow). LV = left ventricle; RV = right ventricle; RA = right atrium
