We report a case of right‐sided endocarditis with left ventricular‐right atrial communication in which right atrial vegetation was demonstrated by two‐dimensional echocardiography. The present case demonstrates that the right atrial vegetation in ventricular septal defect is suggestive of left ventricular‐right atrial communication.
