  • Title: [Life threatening aortobronchial fistula as a late complication following surgical correction of aortic isthmus stenosis].
    Author: Pippert H, Gross-Fengels W.
    Journal: Vasa Suppl; 1991; 33():235-6. PubMed ID: 1788690.
    Abstract:
    An aortobronchial fistula is a rare cause of hemoptysis and most commonly occurs in patients with thoracic aneurysms. If undiagnosed, this entity is uniformly fatal. However, with early recognition and surgery, the survival rate exceeds 80%. We present history and outcome of 3 patients with fistulas due to previous surgery of coarctation of the aorta and discuss the value of different diagnostic procedures.
