Central bronchopleural fistulas closed by bronchoscopic injection of absolute ethanol.
Five consecutive bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) were successfully treated by injecting absolute ethanol directly into the submucosal layer of the fistula under flexible bronchoscopic observation. No complications occurred as a result of this treatment. Our nonsurgical treatment may be very useful to reduce the costs of and duration of hospitalization and to improve the patient's quality of life...
متن کاملBronchopleural fistulas after pneumonectomy. A problem with surgical stapling.
After multiple reports demonstrating excellent results and improved healing of the bronchial stump in cases of pneumonectomy performed with standard reusable parallel firing stapling devices, there has been an isolated report from Europe of increased incidence of bronchopleural fistulas with the use of the modified reusable hinged stapling device. Our report confirms and extends that observatio...

However, because we were cited in their work, we must make a correction. The misunderstanding is that our fi rst publication was a case report of our fi rst patient (5...
متن کاملBronchoscopic gluing for post-lung-transplant bronchopleural fistula.
A 44-year-old female patient diagnosed as pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis with respiratory failure underwent bilateral sequential lung transplantation using an entire left lung and a post-lower-lobectomy right lung due to pneumonia. Persistent air leakage during cough was noted and bronchoscopy 12 days after transplantation demonstrated post-lobectomy bronchial stump dehiscence with a large ...
متن کاملThoracoscopic closure of distal bronchopleural fistulas, using tissue glue.
Three patients with distal bronchopleural fistulas, in whom chest tube and drainage did not lead to closure of the fistulas, were successfully treated with tissue glue (Histoacryl), delivered through a thoracoscope. The fistulas were identified by injecting methylene blue through the suction canal of a fibreoptic bronchoscope. Patient 1 had multiple fistulas, needed several treatment sessions, ...
