Abstract:
A patient with bronchopleural fistula was successfully treated by selective intrabronchial injection of doxycycline and blood under fiberoptic bronchoscopic guidance. This simple and relatively noninvasive therapeutic approach is an effective and safe alternative in treating selective patients with a bronchopleural fistula.
