Overview

Disintegration of the bronchial stub following the lung resection procedures together with development of the bronchopleural fistule and the postoperative empyema of the thorax, remain a feared complication following all lung resections, but especially pneumonectomies. In this case review, the authors report on a successful conservative management case, which followed an unsuccessful surgical revision and an attempt for the endobronchial stent introduction. 20 months following the closure of the fistule, the patient shows no signs of a relapse of the disorder.

Key words:
pneumonectomy – bronchopleural fistule – conservative treatme
