  • Title: Endoscopic closure of bronchopleural fistulas using a tissue adhesive.
    Author: Menard JW, Prejean CA, Tucker WY.
    Journal: Am J Surg; 1988 Mar; 155(3):415-6. PubMed ID: 3344905.
    Abstract:
    Bucrylate tissue adhesive has been found to be effective in achieving closure of surgically created bronchopleural fistulas in dogs. Success was obtained with both endoscopic and direct application. Clinical application of this method in one patient was successful [unpublished observations]. We believe that the speed, low risk, and cost-effectiveness of this approach justifies its further use in these difficult situations.
