LV: left ventricle; LA: left atrium; RV: right ventricle; RA: right atrium. In live echo imaging, the vegetation will show a motion pattern independent of the movement of the tricuspid leaflet. Tricuspid valve endocarditis with vegetation is seen in intravenous drug users or occasionally in those with a central venous catheter in situ for a long period. A similar situation is a transjugular hemodialysis catheter. When a catheter is associated with vegetation it is usually removed and the tip sent for culture. Blood cultures as per standard protocol are also taken along with it. Tricuspid valve vegetations can embolize into the pulmonary circulation leading to septic pulmonary embolism. Xin Yu Song, Shan Li, Jian Cao, Kai Xu, Hui Huang and Zuo Jun Xu noted in their retrospective study of 20 cases of cardiac septic pulmonary embolism that there were right sided vegetations in 15 cases [1].<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36322\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36322\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36322 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/johnsonfrancis.org\/professional\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/07\/Flail-septal-leaflet-of-tricuspid-valve.png\" alt=\"Flail septal leaflet of tricuspid valve\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1584\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36322\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flail septal tricuspid leaflet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Repeat echo at a later date after antibiotic treatment showing regression of vegetation and a flail septal tricuspid leaflet pointing towards the right atrium.
