Endo-Bronchial Valve Placement to Manage Bronchopleural Fistula in Patients with Primary Pulmonary Neoplasm

Primary racemose hemangioma with bronchial‐pulmonary arterial fistula

Primary racemose hemangioma with bronchial-pulmonary arterial fistula is a very rare abnormality. We herein report an asymptomatic case of primary racemose hemangioma with no significant size change in 5 years.

Fiberoptic bronchial blockade in a small bronchopleural fistula.

A patient with bronchopleural fistula was successfully treated by selective intrabronchial injection of doxycycline and blood under fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. This simple and relatively noninvasive therapeutic approach is an effective and safe alternative in treating selective patients with a bronchopleural fistula.

Bronchopleural and pleurocutaneous fistula in HIV patient with pulmonary tuberculosis

We present a 37-year-old man intravenous drug user, with HIV/HCV/HBV co-infection, lymph node tuberculosis 10 years before (completed 12 months of treatment), and left lobar pneumonia 4 years earlier complicated by empyema (treated with left lower lobectomy with a persistent bronchopleural fistula) who was admitted to the emergency department with caseous-purulent drainage and exteriorization o...

Bronchopleural fistula complicating massive pulmonary infarction.

Pulmonary Artery-Bronchial Fistula

experience recently. In our case, a 48-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction had a 7F Swan-Ganz catheter placed in the pulmonary artery. Intracardiac knotting was discovered and the catheter was withdrawn slightly leaving the tip in the pulmonary artery. The second day, pericarditis was detected and on the fourth, a small left pleural effusion appeared on roentgenogram. To exclude a pos...
