Background: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of thoracic endografting in the octogenarian population.
Methods: Between February 2000 and August 2005, 249 patients with a mean age of 69+/-12.3 years (range 23-91) underwent thoracic endografting.
Objective: To describe our experience with endoluminal stent graft repair of aortobronchial fistulas.
Methods: We reviewed the records of patients treated with endoluminal stent grafting of aortobronchial fistulas at a private teaching hospital. All patients underwent the following diagnostic studies: computed tomography, angiography, bronchoscopy, and transesophageal echocardiography.
