Abstract
Aorto-atrial fistulas due to cardiac trauma are rare, and survivors require
immediate surgical correction. Here, we report a case of an aorto-right atrial
fistula due to penetrating trauma after a 16-year evolution, which developed
symptoms of acute coronary syndrome and was treated with myocardial
revascularization and correction of the aorto-cameral fistula.
