Successful Closure of Postoperative Bronchopleural Fistula With Granulation After Submucosal Injection and Spreading of Fibrin Glue
In the treatment of bronchopleural fistulas, it is necessary to consider bronchoscopic intervention and surgery depending on the patient's condition and fistula size. Submucosal injection and spreading of fibrin glue under bronchoscopy may be useful methods for the closure of small, pinhole-like fistulas that are several millimeters in size.
