A 21-year-old man presented to a primary care physician for a general evaluation. He had a past medical history of a "heart murmur" present since childhood. His only complaint was mild increased fatigability with exertion; he had no dyspnea at rest. Physical examination was remarkable for a 2/6 systolic ejection murmur heard throughout the precordium. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a mildly dilated right ventricle and an elevated right ventricular systolic pressure of 80 mm Hg. The patient was evaluated for an elective repair of the VSD. Preoperative assessment included a cardiac computed tomography (CT) angiogram ...
