This report describes a rare case of an aorto-cardiac fistula in a six-year-old French Warmblood mare presented with atrial fibrillation, decreased performance, ventral oedema, bounding arterial pulsation and pathological jugular venous pulse. A 2.7-cm-diameter fistula connected the right aortic sinus of Valsalva to the right atrium. Atrial fibrillation was likely due to volume overload of the right heart due to left-to-right shunting. The horse was treated by percutaneous transcatheter closure of the fistula delivered under general anaesthesia using a transarterial approach. The operation was initially successful, and clinical signs of congestive heart failure improved immediately. However, the device dislodged six days after procedure, and the general condition of the horse deteriorated quickly. A second closure attempt to deliver the occluder using a transvenous approach in the standing horse failed, and the horse was eventually euthanized. Procedural aspects and several possible risk factors for device dislodgement are discussed.
