Endoscopic closure of bronchial fistula.
Case I A 62 year old man was admitted to the Central County Hospital with increasing cough, having had haemoptysis for two months. Investigations, including chest radiography, tomography, and bronchoscopy, showed a tumour of the left hilum that was almost occluding the left main bronchus, 3-4 cm distal to the carina. Biopsy confirmed a squamous cell carcinoma. No metastases were identified so a...
متن کاملA meta-analysis of the impact of bronchial stump coverage on the risk of bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy.
The occurrence of bronchopleural fistula (BPF) after pneumonectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The incidence of BPF in historical patients not subjected to bronchial stump coverage (BSC) was between 6 and 12% after pneumonectomy for lung cancer surgery or benign disease. BSC is considered an important prophylactic measure against BPF and is widely used, but its efficacy rem...
متن کاملThe “Bedi-IMA Buttress”: Reinforcement of the Bronchial Stump with a Pedicled Internal Mammary Artery Buttress in Diabetic Patients after Lung Resection
Objective: The development of a bronchopleural fistula is a devastating complication after lung resection. We describe a new method of buttressing the closure of the stump in diabetic patients using a pedicled internal mammary artery buttress flap to avoid a bronchopleural fistula. Methods: An internal mammary pedicled flap was used in 14 diabetic patients of lung resection to cover the bronchi...
متن کاملbronchial stump closure with amniotic membrane in animal model
background: coverage of the bronchial stumps (bss) with adjacent tissues can improve healing and reduce bronchial complications in complex thoracic surgery. there is no evidence for the application of human amnion allograft for prevention of air leak from the bs. the comparison of the amniotic membrane (am) and pleural patch for bs healing after lobectomy in dogs was our aim in this study. mate...
متن کاملFiberoptic bronchial blockade in a small bronchopleural fistula.
A patient with bronchopleural fistula was successfully treated by selective intrabronchial injection of doxycycline and blood under fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. This simple and relatively noninvasive therapeutic approach is an effective and safe alternative in treating selective patients with a bronchopleural fistula.
