    Journal: Chest; 1992 Oct; 102(4):1285-6. PubMed ID: 1395787.
    Abstract:
    A 56-year-old man with metastatic prostatic carcinoma underwent placement of a Hickman catheter. Approximately two months after the procedure, he was admitted to the hospital with hemoptysis and in respiratory distress. A contrast computed tomographic (CT) scan confirmed the diagnosis of a cava-bronchial fistula. The fistula was surgically repaired, and the patient made a satisfactory recovery.
