Abstract
We present an 11-year-old girl with acute myelogenous leukemia and hemoptysis from abscess erosion into the descending thoracic aorta. We report a pediatric case of an aortobronchial fistula treated with an aortic endograft and discuss the technical limitations and potential complications of this procedure.
