  • Title: Modified Dumon stent for the treatment of a bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy.
    Author: Tayama K, Eriguchi N, Futamata Y, Harada H, Yoshida A, Matsunaga A, Mitsuoka M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2003 Jan; 75(1):290-2. PubMed ID: 12537239.
    Abstract:
    We describe the case of a 72-year-old man in whom a bronchopleural fistula developed after induction chemotherapy followed by right pneumonectomy for lung cancer. Resuturing of the right main bronchial stump, endoscopic treatment, and repair using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap were not effective. Consequently we placed a modified Dumon stent in the carina, which effectively closed the stump.
