Abstract

We present a case of right pneumonectomy after induction chemotherapy complicated by a large bronchopleural fistula and empyema two weeks after surgery. The patient was treated surgically by transsternal transpericardial bronchopleural fistula closure and open window thoracoplasty. Thereafter, two new fistulae developed, one in the right main bronchial stump and one in the accessory tracheal bronchus. The two Amplatzer devices that were originally designed for transcatheter closure of cardiac defects were successfully used for closure of the bronchopleural fistulae.
