A 67-year-old man presented with hemoptysis following 2 previous operations on the descending thoracic aorta. Preoperative investigations and surgical exploration failed to demonstrate an aortobronchial fistula. It was subsequently detected at autopsy after the patient succumbed to a massive bout of hemoptysis.
