    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1994 Dec; 29(12):1545-7. PubMed ID: 7877023.
    Abstract:
    A preterm infant, ventilated for hyaline membrane disease, had severe right-sided pulmonary interstitial emphysema, left-sided compression atelectasis, and bronchopleural fistula. Several modalities of treatment were tried and were unsuccessful. Selective bronchial occlusion with a balloon catheter resulted in dramatic improvement in the patient's clinical and radiographic condition.
