Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot for Acute Empyema With Bronchopleural Fistula: A Case Series

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
We report three elderly patients with acute infectious empyema complicated by bronchopleural fistula (BPF), all successfully managed with early endobronchial Watanabe spigot (EWS) placement as a first‐line intervention. These observations suggest that EWS can be considered a proactive and minimally invasive primary option to abolish air leakage and ...
