Int J Cardiovasc Imaging. 2005 Aug;21(4):383-5. doi: 10.1007/s10554-004-7252-3.

Abstract

We describe an asymptomatic 27-year-old man who presented a continuous murmur, and was found to have a tunnel between the aorta and the right atrium. Successful surgical treatment was performed. We emphasize the rarity of this condition, and discuss its major features.
