The patient was a 59-year-old female. Because of massive hemoptysis, she was brought to our emergency center by ambulance. Thoracic computed tomography led to a diagnosis of an infectious thoracic aortic pseudoaneurysm accompanied by an aortobronchopulmonary fistula. Emergency surgery followed. Also noted was an advanced hepatic dysfunction, assessed as Child-Pugh score B, caused by an alcoholic liver disease. A localized affected area made it possible for us to perform an aneurysmectomy using a temporary bypass rather than assisted circulation. A patch plasty using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene completed the procedure. Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) was detected in a sample obtained during the surgery from an abscess located in the aneurysm. The patient made satisfactory postoperative progress and left the hospital walking unaided on the 36th postoperative day.
