A 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. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12503 (J Card Surg 2015;30:173–178)
