A novel approach to the management of persistent postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula

Brendan P Madden et al. Ann Thorac Surg. 2005 Jun.

Abstract

A 69-year-old man who had a left pneumonectomy for nonsmall cell lung cancer had a bronchopulmonary fistula develop that recurred after surgical closure. He had multiple organ failure develop precluding further operative intervention. Successful resolution of the fistula was achieved using a novel application of a covered expandable metallic stent.
