Open surgical repair of aorto bronchial fistulas is associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Endovascular stent graft as an alternative therapy, though limited, has produced acceptable initial results, but few reports of mid-term follow-up are available. We report the mid-term results with the use of an endograft to treat a patient with both an aorto bronchial fistula and a contained rupture of the thoracic aorta.
