TY - JOUR AU - Fiorelli, Alfonso AU - Ferrara, Vincenzo AU - Bove, Mary AU - Santini, Mario PY - 2019 TI - Tailored airway stent: the new frontiers of the endoscopic treatment of broncho-pleural fistula JF - Journal of Thoracic Disease; Vol 11, Supplement 9 (May 28, 2019): Journal of Thoracic Disease Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Broncho-pleural fistula (BPF) is the most dreaded and serious complication after lung resection. Despite the advancement in surgical technique, BPF still occurs between 4.5–20% after pneumonectomy, and 0.5–15% after lobectomy (1,2). It is associated with a significant mortality (ranging from 25% to 67%), and treatment remains a challenge especially in presence of concomitant empyema (3).
