ABSTRACT
A bronchopleural fistula after pulmonary resection is still showing high mortality and morbidity despite of advancing of treatment. Several treatment options have been developed including surgical treatment. In 1990, endobronchial closure using vascular occluding coils was introduced. These coils can occlude a bronchial air-leakage by mechanical obstruction as well as inducing fibrosis. We report, herein, the experience using a vascular occluding coils in treating postoperative bronchopleural fistula.
