Abstract
The case of a man who presented complaining of epistaxis is reported. He had coarctation repair 18 years previously. Subsequent investigation revealed an aortobronchial fistula resulting from false aneurysm formation distal to the original vessel anastamosis. This was repaired at surgery, the patient suffering a minor stroke, before rehabilitation and good recovery.
