An aorto–atrial fistula secondary to Behçet’s disease without a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm has not been previously reported. A 30 year old man with a four year history of symptoms and signs consistent with Behçet’s disease presented with an aorto–atrial fistula and a large left to right shunt. At operation the defect was repaired with a bovine pericardial patch. There was no evidence of aneurysm formation. The patient made a good recovery and was well at one year follow up. %U https://heart.bmj.com/content/heartjnl/80/2/200.full.pdf
