[Recurrent hemoptysis after aorta aneurysm stent implantation: a case report].
The etiology of hemoptysis is diverse and complex, with aorta aneurysm being identified as a rare cause of cryptogenic hemoptysis. Here, we reported a 56-year-old male patient who experienced hemoptysis due to a thoracic aorta aneurysm that persisted despite stent implantation. Further investigation revealed the presence of a lateral thoracic artery-pulmonary artery fistula and an aortobronchial fistula, diagnosed by angiography and multidisciplinary consultation. Therefore, patients with recurrent hemoptysis after aortic surgery should be monitored for the possibility of an aortobronchial fistula.
