Recurrent Aortobronchial Fistula after Endovascular Stenting for Infected Pseudoaneurysm of the Proximal Descending Thoracic Aorta: Case Report

Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) induced by an infected pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta is a life-threatening condition. As surgical treatment associated with significant mortality and morbidity, endovascular aneurysm repair (TEVAR) may be alternative for ABF. However, long-term durability this intervention largely unknown recurrence ABF potential complication. We experienced case recurrent after stent grafting as early procedure aorta. Remnant ABF, bronchial and/or aortic wall erosion, vasa vasorum connected local inflammation thin around might cause hemoptysis. result, we suggest that TEVAR should considered bridge therapy initial resulting from pseudoaneurysm, several options, such second-stage surgery, to prevent
