Abstract
- A 59-year old female patient was admitted due to massive hemoptysis. 6-months previously, we performed ascending aorta graft interposition for terating Debakey type 1 acute aortic dissection. Chest CT scan showed the fistula between the descending thoracic aorta and the left lower lobe. We performed descending thoracic aorta graft interposition under cardiopulmonary bypass. She recovered well without any postoperative problems. Distal aorto-bronchial fistula after a previous aortic operation is very rare. We report here the good results of treating aorto-bronchial fistula because we recognized this lesion early and performed an early operation.
