Abstract
Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare and late complication of cardiac surgery. If untreated, mortality rate is approximately 100 secondary to exsanguinations haemoptysis. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for successful management. Open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rate, ranging from 25 to 41. Endovascular treatments of ABF is a less invasive treatment modality and have become an important alternative to open surgical intervention in aortic pathologies. We present a case of ABF that successfully is managed by endovascular approach. © 2010 Tehran University of Medical Sciences. All rights reserved.
