Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a feared postoperative complication of pneumonectomy that carries significant morbidity and mortality. BPF can be treated by various surgical and medical techniques. Endobronchial techniques have been used for the delivery of biological glue, sealants, coils, and covered stents with variable degrees of success, depending on the size of the fistula. A recent case report described the endobronchial closure of a BPF through the implantation of an Amplatzer ASD device, commonly used for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects. In this case report, we describe closure of a BFP using the Amplatzer PFO device.
支气管胸膜瘘（BPF）是肺切除术后令人担忧的并发症，具有较高的发病率和死亡率。BPF可通过多种外科和内科技术进行治疗。支气管内技术已用于输送生物胶水、密封剂、线圈和覆膜支架，根据瘘口大小，成功率各不相同。最近一份病例报告描述了通过植入常用于经导管闭合房间隔缺损的Amplatzer ASD装置来支气管内闭合BPF。在本病例报告中，我们描述了使用Amplatzer PFO装置闭合BPF的情况。
