Abstract
Pulmonary fistulas are associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. We report 2 cases of alveolopleural fistulas, 1 in a patient with chronic hydropneumothorax and the other after wedge biopsy. In both cases, Watanabe spigot (Novatech, Grasse, France) was placed for bronchial occlusion with short-term success.Entities:
