Abstract
Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is a rare and devastating complication, if left untreated. Its main clinical manifestation is hemoptysis, and there are no defined guidelines for its treatment yet. Herein, we present the case of a 74-year-old male who complained of back pain and hemoptysis. The patient was diagnosed with pseudo-aneurysm and ABF, and he underwent hybrid thoracic endovascular aortic repair. However, hemoptysis recurred. With patch aortoplasty and anatomical lung resection, successful management of ABF was achieved, with no relapse for 5 years.
