ABSTRACT
Among the late postoperative complications of the acute dissection of aorta, the fistula between dilated distal aorta and pulmonary parenchym is so rare that only few case have been reported sporadically. Although the aortopulmonary fistula is one of a fatal condition that needs prompt surgical intervention, with an appropriate management it is well controllable condition. Early diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention is the only way to prevent catastrophic hemorrhage. We experienced a surgical management of aortoplumonary fistula which occurred between upper lobe of the left lung and distal aortic dilatation of previous aortic bypass graft which was performed for Debakey type I acute aortic dissection.
