Abstract
|
|
|
|
A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is traditionally treated by surgery, but currently various noninvasive forms of management, particularly the use of bronchoscopy, have been utilized. The substances and methods for noninvasive management of a BPF differ with individual clinicians. This case describes the use of flexible bronchoscopic treatment of a BPF complicating pneumoniausing embolization coils and intraluminally injected fibrin glue. If the BPF is small and is located on the peripheral bronchus, this minimal invasive maneuver could be recommended for the treatment of a BPF.
