Abstract
We describe a rare case in a 28-year-old woman with WG, presenting with a massive lateral pleural effusion, accompanied by an aseptic bronchopleural fistula formed during immunosuppressive treatment. Although any organ can be involved in WG, only left pleuritis and a purpuric lesion on the neck were...

Abstract
In a randomized controlled trial of sealing with a sheet-type collagen vs. a combined approach of fixing a collagen sponge, using fibrin glue for closure of air leaks, the use of Integran, a sheet-type absorbable topical collagen hemostat, is feasible to prevent pulmonary fistula after lung surgery....

Abstract
In the months following the operation, the incidence of the late onset of a pulmonary fistula was higher when the harmonic scalpel was used. It was believed that the small bronchial stump could not tolerate the airway pressure because the thick coagulation necrosis delayed healing of the postoperati...

Abstract
An esophagorespiratory fistula (ERF) is an often fatal consequence of esophageal or bronchogenic carcinomas. The preferred treatment is placement of esophageal and/or airway stents. Stent placement must be performed as quickly as possible since patients with ERFs are at a high risk for aspiration pn...
