  • Title: Management of aortobronchial fistula following coarctation repair.
    Author: Kalkat MS, Bonser RS.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 2003 Jan; 23(1):116-8. PubMed ID: 12493520.
    Abstract:
    Aortobronchial fistula is a rare complication following thoracic aortic operations and is invariably fatal if not promptly diagnosed and repaired. Direct prosthetic repair carries a risk of graft repair sepsis and fistula recurrence. We describe two cases presenting with aortobronchial fistula following coarctation repair which were successfully treated by different surgical approaches.
