Giant pseudoaneurysm of aorta and aortobronchial fistula after surgery for aortic re-coarctation

<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.
