  • Title: TEVAR for Secondary Aortobronchial Fistulas: Two Cases with Favorable Long-term Outcomes.
    Author: Anastasiadou C, Trellopoulos G, Megalopoulos A.
    Journal: Ann Vasc Surg; 2019 Aug; 59():309.e11-309.e14. PubMed ID: 30825509.
    Abstract:
    Secondary aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is an uncommon clinical entity associated with increased mortality. Most common presentation is hemoptysis, ranging from repetitive self-limiting episodes to massive hematemesis. Mediastinitis (if present) and excessive blood loss burden the unfavorable case of ABF, whereas stent-graft contamination and sepsis are the main concerns regarding endovascular therapy. We are presenting two patients with secondary ABF treated with thoracic endovascular repair who completed long-term follow-up without complications or evidence of infection.
