Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Bronchopleural fistula represents a formidable complication after pneumonectomies. There are numerous surgical and endoscopic procedures for its treatment. CLINICAL CASE: We present a case where a coated self-expanding nitinol stent was used to exclude a bronchopleural fistula. RESULT: significant improvement in air leakage was observed. CONCLUSION: We encourage the use of a covered metal stent in selected patients.
