AbstractA 63-year-old male underwent an ascending aortic replacement for an acute type A dissection. Nine days later a fistulous communication between the right coronary sinus and right atrium was identified and surgically repaired. We present a literature review, including the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and surgical management of this rare complication.© 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
