Abstract

Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is relatively rare, but it has high morbidity and mortality rates and it is associated with a prolonged hospital stay and high costs. Surgical treatment is the treatment of choice, but other minimal invasive forms of conservative management, and particularly bronchoscopy, have recently been investigated. We report here on the bronchoscopic treatment of a bronchopleural fistula accompanied necrotizing pneumonia, and we used coils and fibrin glue to treat the fistula.

기관지늑막강루는 드문 질환이지만, 일단 생기면 높은 이완율과 치명률을 보이며 입원 기간과 비용부담이 초래되는 합병증의 하나이다. 일반적으로 수술적 치료가 우선이지만, 최근 들어 비침습적 방법으로 기관지 내시경을 이용한 치료가 보고되고 있다. 괴사성 폐렴에 합병된 기관지 늑막강루를 코일과 글루를 사용하여 기관지내시경을 이용, 성공적으로 치료하였기에 그 결과를 보고한다.
