  • Title: Management of the recalcitrant postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula: the transsternal transpericardial approach.
    Author: Ginsberg RJ, Saborio DV.
    Journal: Semin Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2001 Jan; 13(1):20-6. PubMed ID: 11309721.
    Abstract:
    The authors review the management of postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulae and describe the place of the transsternal transpericardial approach, especially in the management of recalcitrant postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulae. The technique is described in detail, and the results of the published series are analyzed. The authors do recommend the use of this approach in the recalcitrant fistula that has failed standard approaches.
