Abstract

Secondary aortobronchial fistula (ABF) is an uncommon clinical entity associated with increased mortality. Most common presentation is hemoptysis, ranging from repetitive self-limiting episodes to massive hematemesis. Mediastinitis (if present) and excessive blood loss burden the unfavorable case of ABF, whereas stent-graft contamination and sepsis are the main concerns regarding endovascular therapy. We are presenting two patients with secondary ABF treated with thoracic endovascular repair who completed long-term follow-up without complications or evidence of infection.
