Abstract
|
|
|
|
Arterial involvement of Behcet’s disease (BD) includes arterial occlusions and aneurysms, of which aneurysms are the more common. Aortopulmonary fistula is an anomalous communication between the aorta and a segment of the tracheobronchial tree, and this may develop after thoracic vascular surgery and cause fatal hemoptysis. We experienced a case of BD in a 34-year-old man who was diagnosed as having an aortopulmonary fistula between the aortic pseudoaneurysm and the bronchus of the left upper lobe, and this developed after graft replacement surgery for aortic aneurysm.
