Surgical treatment of aortobronchial fistula after thoracic endograft failure

چکیده
Endovascular stent grafting has been recently considered as a less invasive alternative to either medical therapy or open surgical treatment for many patients with descending thoracic aortic disease. Late complications are rarely described in literature. Herein, we described the occurrence of an aorto-bronchial fistula and a retro-A dissection in a 73-year-old man after stent-grafting for a penetrating atherosclerotic ulcer (PAU) of the descending thoracic aorta and the successful surgical technique adopted in order to remove the stent-graft.

Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas.
BACKGROUND Thoracic endovascular aortic repair of aortobronchial fistulas is an emerging treatment modality for this highly lethal condition. The feasibility and long-term durability of this form of intervention are largely unknown. METHODS The records of five patients who received endografts to treat aortobronchial fistulas at our institution were reviewed. A literature review was also condu...
متن کاملEndovascular Repair of Aortobronchial Fistula due to Saccular Aneurysm of Thoracic Aorta
Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare condition which can be lethal if left untreated. Open surgical treatment carries high morbidity and mortality. Recent advances in endovascular technology have made thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) the treatment of choice. We present a successful endovascular repair of aortobronchial fistula due to a saccular aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta.

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. Our patientwas a 39-year-oldman,whose only notab...

BACKGROUND Endovascular stent grafting is performed in patients with aneurysms of aorta or other major vessels. The procedure is considered to be generally safe, with a low risk of complications, the most common of which include endoleaks, stenosis or thrombosis at the stagraft and itsmigration. Very rare complications include aortoesophageal and aortobronchial fistulas (0.5-1.7% cases). CASE...

INTRODUCTION We report mid-term results from the endovascular treatment of acute thoracic aortic pathologies in a single center. METHODS We retrospectively interrogated our clinical database and identified the following patients who were treated for an acute thoracic aortic pathology during a 3-year period (January 2003 to February 2006) with the deployment of a thoracic endograft: 8 male pat...
