%X Although most intracardiac defects are congenital, a small fraction may be acquired during life. The Gerbode defect is an abnormal anatomical connection between the left ventricle and the right atrium. We describe herein a patient who initially underwent repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). Years after TOF repair, he developed severe dyspnea. Extensive evaluation revealed that he had developed a Gerbode defect. Very few cases of acquired Gerbode defect have been previously reported. Management options are predominantly surgical interventions
