Successful Bronchial Occlusion With an Endobronchial Watanabe Spigot Using a Single‐Use Bronchoscope for Bronchobiliary Fistula: A Case Report

Respirology Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 11, November 2025.
A rare case of bronchobiliary fistula after liver resection was successfully diagnosed and treated with bronchial occlusion at bedside using a single‐use bronchoscope. The use of single‐use bronchoscopes may be viable in critically ill patients, especially when the use of a reusable bronchoscope is not feasible. ABSTRACT Bronchobiliary fistula (BBF) is
