  • Title: Lung autotransplantation and extra-anatomic bypass to treat an aortobronchial fistula after previous surgery for aortic coarctation.
    Author: Bugge AS, Kvitting JP, Sundset A, Birkeland S.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2021 Aug; 36(8):2924-2927. PubMed ID: 34018253.
    Abstract:
    Lung autotransplantation can be a surgical alternative to gain access to the posterior mediastinum and the thoracic portion of the descending aorta through a sternotomy. We present a case of hemoptysis and bronchial obstruction due to a presumed infected aortobronchial fistula, secondary to stent graft placement in a patient with multiple previous surgeries for aortic coarctation, treated with lung autotransplantation and an extra-anatomic bypass.
