An abnormal communication between the bronchus and the pleural cavity is known as a bronchopleural fistula (BPF). The incidence of postoperative BPF ranges from 1.5% to 28%, and is responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality. Various modalities have been used for treatment of BPF including surgery and endobronchial occlusion devices. The scope of therapy is limited in developing countries because of cost constraints and lack of availability of different occlusion devices. A novel method of BPF closure using a customized spigot and cyanoacrylate glue is described.
支气管与胸膜腔之间的异常通道被称为支气管胸膜瘘（BPF）。术后BPF的发生率在1.5%至28%之间，会导致相当高的发病率和死亡率。治疗BPF已采用了多种方法，包括手术和支气管内封堵装置。由于成本限制以及缺乏不同的封堵装置，发展中国家的治疗范围有限。本文描述了一种使用定制插管和氰基丙烯酸酯胶水闭合BPF的新方法。
