Abstract
- A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) following a pulmonary resection is relatively rare;however, it has high morbidity and mortality rates, despite advancements in treatment. Treatment options for a BPF include surgical procedures, conservative therapy, medical therapy, and in particular, the use of a bronchoscopy and different glues, coils, and sealants. This paper discusses a case of the treatment of a postoperative BPF, which is not identified on the bronchoscope, using a platinum vascular occlusion coil (microcoil) and N-butly-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) under fluoroscopic guidance. We hereby assert that such an approach as a combination might be an improvement to the minimally-invasive treatment methods currently in use.
