Aortic aneurysm involving a right-sided arch complicating aortobronchopulmonary and aortoesophageal fistula. 2001

Third Department of Internal Medicine, Oita Medical University.

A 66-year-old man with hemoptysis, chest pain, fever, and hoarseness was admitted to our department. A right-sided aortic arch and three aneurysms in the proximal arch, distal arch, and descending aorta were confirmed by aortography and surgery. Fistula formations were discovered between the proximal arch aneurysm and the right upper lobe (aortobronchopulmonary fistula: ABF), and between the descending aorta and the esophagus (aortoesophageal fistula: AEF). Concomitant ABF and AEF are very rare. Aortopulmonary and/or aortoesophageal fistula complicated by a right-sided aortic arch have not been previously reported.
