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.
