Postoperative Ischemic Bronchitis Progressing to Bronchopleural Fistula After Robotic Lobectomy: A First Report. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report the first case of extensive mainstem bronchial ischemic necrosis following robotic lobectomy presenting as delayed bronchopleural fistula (BPF) in a 51‐year‐old male. As robotic lobectomy enables more extensive lymphadenectomy than conventional approaches, pulmonologists should recognize postoperative ischemic bronchitis (POIB) as a potential

Antifungal-Based Conservative Management of Delayed-Onset Fungal Bronchopleural Fistula After Lung Cancer Surgery. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We report two cases of delayed‐onset Aspergillus fumigatus–associated bronchopleural fistula following lung cancer surgery that provide insight into patient selection for conservative management. ABSTRACT Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a rare but potentially life‐threatening complication after pulmonary resection.

Recurrent Pneumothorax With Bronchopleural Fistula in Primary Multidrug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Challenging Case. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
A 41‐year‐old man with primary multidrug‐resistant pulmonary tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) developed recurrent pneumothorax and a bronchopleural fistula (BPF). Despite persistent air leak (PAL) after initial video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), definitive open thoracotomy with decortication and fistula repair led to sustained lung re‐expansion.

Treatment strategies for bronchopleural fistula [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1995
Successful management of chronic postoperative bronchopleural fistula remains a challenge for thoracic surgeons. Forty-two patients (33 referred from other institutions) were treated for major postoperative bronchopleural fistula since 1978. Factors associated with bronchopleural fistula included right pneumonectomy (n = 23), left pneumonectomy (n = 8),

Distal Bronchopleural Fistula Closure With Robotic Bronchoscopy [PDF]

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
The inability to access distal bronchopleural fistulas with standard bronchoscopes limits the use of endobronchial occlusion techniques. A 43-year-old woman experienced fatigue and cough 1 month after a left lower lobectomy.

Bronchoscopic interventions for bronchopleural fistulas

Therapeutic Advances in Respiratory Disease, 2023
Bronchopleural fistula is a potentially fatal disease most often caused after pneumonectomy. Concomitant problems such as pulmonary infection and respiratory failure are typically the main contributors to patient mortality because of the improper contact

Management of bronchopleural fistula using Amplatzer VSD occluder device [PDF]

Lung India
Bronchoscopic device closure plays an important role in the nonsurgical management of bronchopleural fistulae. Herein, we describe the first Indian report of the use of Amplatzer VSD occluder device for the management of a large bronchopleural fistula ...
