  • Title: Endovascular treatment of an aortobronchial fistula caused by a distal aortic arch mycotic aneurysm: report of a case.
    Author: Daitoku K, Fukuda I, Taniguchi S, Minakawa M.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2010; 40(1):54-6. PubMed ID: 20037840.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of an aortobronchial fistula causing massive hemoptysis, which was managed by emergency stent grafting. Although this procedure was successful initially, the aortobronchial fistula appeared again 7 months later. Aneurysmectomy, followed by rifampicin-soaked gelatin sealed polyester graft replacement and omentopexy, was performed under cardiopulmonary bypass. The patient, a 73-year-old woman, had an uneventful postoperative course and the infection was eradicated.
