We present a case of a 46-year-old man with advanced acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and congenitally bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis caused by methicillin- and gentamicin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Endocarditis led to root abscess formation, a complete heart block, and fistulous tract formation between the ascending aorta and the right ventricle. Although perivalvular abscess is not an unusual complication of native valve endocarditis, a fatal fistulous communication between the ascending aorta and the right ventricle is exceedingly rare.
