Abstract:
Surgical closure of a bronchopleural fistula following right pneumonectomy for squamous cell carcinoma was achieved with monomeric n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Previous attempts at closure by conservative and endoscopic means were unsuccessful. Tissue adhesives are useful in the surgical or endoscopic management of bronchopleural fistula.
