Treatment of peripheral bronchopleural fistulas with endobronchial occlusion coils

Department of Surgery, Hospital of Saint Raphael, New Haven, Connecticut.

Persistent peripheral bronchopleural fistulas can be difficult to manage. Endoscopic plugging of involved bronchi has been accomplished in a number of ways. We have devised a method of permanently blocking small peripheral airways using Gianturco vascular occlusion coils placed endobronchially by modified angiographic techniques. This procedure has been applied in 5 cases of complicated parenchymal air leaks. Complete or substantial partial control was achieved in all cases. There were no complications.
