Abstract
Secondary aorto-atrial fistula is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of ascending aortic dissection surgical repair. Secondary aorto-atrial fistulas commonly lead to symptomatic heart failure requiring emergent repair. We present a rare case of secondary aorto-atrial fistula after surgical repair of aortic dissection that remained asymptomatic for a decade. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
