Abstract

Bronchopleural fistula is an uncommon complication occurring especially following lung resection (pneumonectomy) and associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. The treatment is surgical but some studies reported bronchoscopic treatment. Localization and size of the fistula may indicate different endoscopic procedures. This overview described the different endoscopic procedures and their benefits.

Keywords: Bronchopleural fistula; Endoscopic procedures; Endoscopie; Fistule bronchopleurale.
