The treatment of choice for aortic coarctation in adults remains open surgical repair. Aortobronchial fistula is a rare but potentially fatal late sequela of surgical correction of isthmic aortic coarctation via the interposition of a graft.The endovascular treatment of aortobronchial fistula is still under discussion because of its high risk for infection, especially if the patient has a history of cardiovascular prosthetic implantation. Patients need close monitoring, most notably those with secondary aortobronchial fistula. We discuss the case of a 65-year-old man who presented with the combined conditions, and we briefly review the relevant medical literature.

<div data-canvas-width="623.7618176418355">Aortobronchial fistula is a rare but potentially fatal complication after balloon plasty of aortic coarctation. We present a case of successful single-stage correction of giant pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch with aortobronchial fistula in a 6-year-old patient after aortic arch replacement, which developed as a result of avulsion of the synthetic graft from the aortic wall when performing balloon angioplasty of a narrowed part of the aorta.</div><div data-canvas-width="623.7618176418355"><div data-canvas-width="195.17408019374872"> </div><div data-canvas-width="195.17408019374872">Received 15 April 2015.
