The authors report the case of a 52 year old man with arteriovenous shunt developing from the 7th left intercostal artery, revealed by hemoptysis and proved by intercostal selective arteriography. The patient had a past history of serofibrinous pleurity 29 years previously and had undergone paracentesis at this level. The origin of this shunt is then discussed.
