Endoscopic Closure of Bronchopleural Fistula using Glue Therapy: A Case Report
نویسنده
چکیده
The occurrence of a bronchopleural fistula (BPF) continues to represent a challenging management problem, and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Bronchoscopic closure of BPF with instillation of n-butyl-cyanoacrylate glue is an effective, economical, minimally invasive and safe technique for managing BPFs. We present a case that was successfully treated with this method. *Corresponding author: Dr. Sandeep Gupta, 146, Narula Colony, The lower mall, Patiala (Pb), India, 147001, Tel: 91-9888391241; E-mail: drsandygupta@yahoo. com Received July 21, 2011; Accepted September 12, 2011; Published October 19, 2011 Citation: Gupta S, Simica (2011) Endoscopic Closure of Bronchopleural Fistula using Glue Therapy: A Case Report.

We recently described the novel management of postpneumonectomy empyema with bronchopleural fistula using bronchoscopic glue injection [3, 4]. Cyanoacrylate glue is mixed with lipiodol for endobronchial injections into the submucosal layer of the proximal end of the bronchopleural fistula, raising the mucosa and thereby reducing the diameter of the fistula. The success rate of bronchoscopic clo...

Effective closure of the postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula (PBF) with the use of different techniques still remains a challenge for thoracic surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of modified method of PBF closure using pedicled pericardial flap (PPF) supported by fibrin glue (FG). The efficacy of the late PBF closure with the use of two surgical methods was compare...
