Atypical chest pain and hemoptysis 27 years after aortic coarctation surgery: aortobronchial fistula, management and endovascular treatment.
Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare, late, and usually catastrophic complication that should be suspected in any patient who has undergone a surgical procedure involving descending thoracic aorta. It usually presents as atypical chest pain that is followed by massive hemoptysis and death due to blood loss if emergency surgery is not performed.

متن کاملConservative treatment of an aortoesophagial fistula after endovascular stent grafting for a thoracic aortic aneurysm
BACKGROUND Aortoesophageal fistula (AEF) is an uncommon condition that presents a problem in therapy because of the high rate of morbidity and mortality associated with its surgical management and the uniformly fatal outcome of medical treatment. In this article we describe a case of secondary AEF after endoluminal stent grafting of the thoracic aorta, which was observed by only conservative ma...
متن کاملManagement of an infected aortic graft with endovascular stent grafting.
Aortic graft infection, one of the most common fatal complications of aortovascular surgery, is managed mainly by the removal of infected graft material and re-establishment of vascular continuity using an extra-anatomical bypass or in situ graft replacement. Despite significant progress in perioperative, surgical, and medical treatments, the mortality and morbidity for this condition remain hi...

متن کاملAn Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...
