Abstract

A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is traditionally treated by surgery, but currently various noninvasive forms of management, particularly the use of bronchoscopy, have been utilized. The substances and methods for noninvasive management of a BPF differ with individual clinicians. This case describes the use of flexible bronchoscopic treatment of a BPF complicating pneumoniausing embolization coils and intraluminally injected fibrin glue. If the BPF is small and is located on the peripheral bronchus, this minimal invasive maneuver could be recommended for the treatment of a BPF.

폐렴의 합병증으로 생긴 기관지 늑막강루의 치료로 최근 들어 비침습적 방법으로 기관지 내시경을 이용한 치료가 보고되고 있지만 그 사용 물질 및 방법은 다양하다. 본 증례에서는 혈관 폐쇄용 코일과 피브린 글루를 사용하여 굴곡형 기관지내시경을 이용하여 치료하였다. 기관지 늑막강루의 크기가 크지 않고 말초 기관지에 위치한다면 본 증례의 치료 방법이 고려될 수 있다.
