%X background and objectives: in patients with hemoptysis and a history of aortic surgery, the possibility of aortobronchopulmonary fistula must always be considered. the objective of this study was to report a rare case of hemoptysis due to aortobronchopulmonary fistula in the late postoperative period of aortic surgery. case report: female patient, 34 years, surgical correction of aortic coarctation, presenting massive hemoptysis. the echocardiogram disclosed a pseudoaneurysm. the surgical correction was performed and a dacron tube graft was implanted in the affected aortic segment successfully. conclusions: aortobronchopulmonary fistulas must be considered in patients with previous aortic surgery, due to the elevated morbimortality if they are not promptly diagnosed and treated.
