Aortobronchial fistula (ABF) presenting as massive hemoptysis is a rapidly fatal process that is extremely difficult to diagnose and manage. ABF following ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is extremely rare. We now report a case of an ABF developing 14 years after ligation of a PDA. (J Card Surg 2011;26:402‐404)
