| Abstrakt: | Introduction: Bronchopleural fistula represents a formidable complication after pneumonectomies. There are numerous surgical and endoscopic procedures for its treatment. Clinical Case: We present a case where a coated self-expanding nitinol stent was used to exclude a bronchopleural fistula. Result: significant improvement in air leakage was observed. Conclusion: We encourage the use of a covered metal stent in selected patients. (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.) |
