Endobronchial closure of bronchopleural fistulas with Amplatzer vascular plug

Abstract

Endobronchial closure using the AVP is a safe and effective method for treatment of small postoperative BPF. The ease of their implantation by bronchoscopy under conscious sedation adds this novel technique to the armatorium of minimally invasive modalities for the treatment of small BPF.
