  • Title: Use of Amplatzer device for endobronchial closure of bronchopleural fistulas.
    Author: Gulkarov I, Paul S, Altorki NK, Lee PC.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2009 Nov; 9(5):901-2. PubMed ID: 19661120.
    Abstract:
    Postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) remain difficult management problems associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Traditional therapies have included primary repair or delayed closure with the creation of an Eloesser cavity and tissue flap reinforcement. New bronchoscopic modalities have included the use of bioglues, stents, and coils. We describe another additional, less invasive bronchoscopic modality - the use of an atrial septal closure device.
