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 ...

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 ...

Bronchobiliary and Bronchopleural Fistulas
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1977In the course of treating approximately 2,000 patients with postoperative stricture of the bile duct, 16 bronchopleural and bronchobiliary fistulas were encountered. Three patients have been seen in the past year. This has prompted a review of our experience since it was previously recorded in 1955.

Late Postpneumonectomy Bronchopleural Fistula
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 2004The incidence of late postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula (PBPF) is very small after the 3rd postoperative week due to the existence of fibrothorax providing an effective natural protection against fistula formation. However, the development of late PBPF is a serious complication characterized by high morbidity and mortality. We present our modest
