RESUMO
Acquired intracardiac shunt after prosthetic valve replacement is a rare complication, and reoperation for correction of this disorder carries a high mortality rate. We report such a case of left ventricular-right atrial fistula after mitral valve replacement in which the patient died of multiple complications. Awareness, prevention, and early diagnosis are, therefore, extremely important.
