Abnormalities of the right ventricular outflow tract are common within the spectrum of congenital heart disease. Reconstruction of this outflow with or without the use of prosthetic material forms an integral part of many surgical procedures. Consequently, this part of the heart constitutes an important locus for infective endocarditis. Focused literature on infective endocarditis of the right ventricular outflow is sparse. This narrative review therefore attempts to collate the currently available data on a subject that is gaining importance because of the increasing numbers of surgical and catheter-based interventions on the right ventricular outflow.

右心室流出道异常在先天性心脏病范围内很常见。无论是否使用人工材料,对该流出道进行重建都是许多外科手术的重要组成部分。因此,心脏的这一部分是感染性心内膜炎的重要发病部位。关于右心室流出道感染性心内膜炎的专门文献很少。因此,这篇叙述性综述试图整理目前关于这个因右心室流出道外科手术和基于导管的干预数量不断增加而日益重要的主题的可用数据。
