Radiologic Recognition of Bronchopleural Fistula
Radiology, 1977Examination of more than 30 cases of bronchopleural fistula (BPF), of diverse causes, including 6 following resectional surgery, revealed a distinctive configuration of air/fluid collections in the pleural space. Maler in 1940 independently observed that loculated BPF pockets conform in shape to the adjacent chest wall.

Empyema and Bronchopleural Fistula
2008This chapter discusses empyema and bronchopleural fistula (BPF). Infection of the pleural space leading to empyema formation, and the importance of clearing infection and pus from this space, has been recognized since ancient times. Parapneumonic effusions are classified as simple or uncomplicated, complicated, and empyema, based on the appearance and ...

Endoscopic Treatment of Bronchopleural Fistulas
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998Bronchial fistula is one of the most serious complications of pulmonary resection.We present an endoscopic treatment that consists of multiple submucosal injections of polidocanol-hydroxypoliethoxidodecane (Aethoxysklerol Kreussler) on the margins of the fistula using an endoscopic needle inserted through a flexible bronchoscope.From 1984 to 1995, 35 ...

Abstract Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a pathological communication between bronchial tree and pleural space. BPF has multiple etiologies but postsurgical ones carry the highest incidence and the worst prognosis. Diagnosis is based on the clinical presentation and confirmation with radiological imaging (chest X-ray, computed tomography
