Infective endocarditis (IE) of the aortic valve is most commonly associated with perivalvular invasion and intracardiac fistula formation, which sometimes give rise to unpredictable clinical events. Massive pericardial effusion and aorticocardiac fistula are very rare complications of IE. We present a case in which IE of the aortic valve was initially associated with massive pericardial effusion requiring drainage and later complicated by rupture of a sinus of Valsalva with a fistula into the right atrium without formation of aneurysm. To our knowledge, the concurrent occurrence of these two events in a patient with IE has not been previously reported.
