Abstract

We report the management of endobronchial a patient admitted to the ICU for respiratory distress in the consequences of an surgical recovery of his left pneumonectomy complicated by bronchopleural fistula as part of a bronchial carcinoma non-small cell type adenocarcinoma. Endobronchial treatment by gluing of the fistula may be an alternative to surgery. We discuss its indication in the treatment of bronchial fistula.
