  • Title: Tailored stent for bronchial stump fistula closure and omentoplasty for infection control: a combined approach with low morbidity.
    Author: Billè A, Giovannetti R, Calarco G, Pastorino U.
    Journal: Tumori; 2014; 100(4):157e-9e. PubMed ID: 25296609.
    Abstract:
    Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) after pneumonectomy remains a dangerous complication with high mortality and morbidity. Primary closure of the fistula with muscle flaps and a thoracic window is generally used to treat BPF. New techniques for secondary stump closure including glues, stents and coils have been introduced recently. We report the use of a J-shaped tracheal stent device placed during bronchoscopy combined with omentoplasty to control the symptoms related to BPF and pleural space infection, respectively.
