Abstract
Bronchopleural fistula after pneumonectomy remains a challenge after lung cancer surgery. It is associated with high mortality, morbidity and prolonged hospital stay necessitating further thoracotomy. We describe a technique using intra-mucosal injection of glue to close a bronchopleural fistula via bronchoscopy.Entities:
