title: [Aortobronchial fistulas].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Aortobronchial fistulas are uncommon but generally fatal if not treated surgically. Haemoptysis is the main symptom of this pathology. STATES OF ART AND PERSPECTIVES: Aortobronchial fistulas occur most commonly in patients with thoracic aneurysms (atherosclerosis, mycotic, aortic surgery's complication...). Main investigation is CT angiography with 2 D and 3 D reconstructions.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Endovascular exclusion can be efficient treatment option.
