Abstract
Aorto-atrial fistulas are a rare diagnosis with limited reports in the clinical literature. These findings are often characterized by echocardiography alone; however, the advent and increased availability and use of CT angiography to diagnose cardiac abnormalities provides improved anatomic visibility of potential defects. We are reporting a case of a 76-year-old male with decompensated heart failure secondary to a fistula between the aorta and left atrium after remote history of bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement.
