“…The etiology of sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistulas, abnormal connections between the aorta and the right atrium, is multifarious. These fistulas can be congenital [ 1 ], caused by dissecting aneurysms and aortic dissections [ 2 , 3 ], and they can result from operations involving the aorta or aortic valve [ 4 - 6 ]. Another extremely rare cause of aorto-right atrial fistula is infective endocarditis [ 7 ].…”

Sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistulas are abnormal connections between the aorta and the right atrium, and present challenging surgical conditions. An extremely rare etiology of aorto-right atrial fistula is infective endocarditis. This case report presents a 21 year old Caucasian female patient who had native aortic valve Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis complicated by sinus of Valsalva abscess perforation associated with an acute heart block, an aorto-right atrial fistula, severe heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. She underwent emergent aortic valve replacement and complex sinus of Valsalva fistula pericardial patch reconstruction and repair. This case report further explores the advantages and disadvantages of different valves for different patient populations, and evaluates the patient’s prosthesis mismatch and effective orifice area.

Key wordsaorto-right atrial tunnel, aorto-right atrial communication, tricuspid atresia.Aorto-right atrial communication is an uncommon heart defect, and this malformation could be generally caused from ruptured aneurysm of sinus Valsalva, ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta, and coronary artery fistula. [1][2][3][4] Here, we report on a distinctly unique case of aorto-right atrial shunt that is associated with aortic atresia, tricuspid atresia, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, and persistent ductus arteriosus.
