Endobronchial Closure of Total Bronchopleural Fistula With Occlutech Figulla ASD N Device
Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 09/04/09

Tedde ML et al. – The authors describe the endoscopic closure of a bronchial total fistula with the Occlutech Figulla ASD N device, originally designed for closure of an atrial septal defect. The procedure was conducted without general anesthesia or rigid bronchoscopy, bronchography, or radioscopy. An immediate reduction in the air leak was observed and also later on bronchoscopy, as the device was almost covered by granulation tissue.
