An aneurysm of the aorta with aortobronchial fistula formation was seen in a 33 year old patient as a rare cause of recurring hemoptysis. 18 years previously he had undergone surgery of coarctation of the aorta. By means of different imaging methods the diagnosis was established in time and the aneurysm resected, so that the patient survived this mostly fatal incident.
