Lung autotransplantation can be a surgical alternative to gain access to the posterior mediastinum and the thoracic portion of the descending aorta through a sternotomy. We present a case of hemoptysis and bronchial obstruction due to a presumed infected aortobronchial fistula, secondary to stent graft placement in a patient with multiple previous surgeries for aortic coarctation, treated with lung autotransplantation and an extra-anatomic bypass.
