We present a 36-year-old immuno-compromised male with non-resolving pneumonia, who developed a broncho-pleuro-cutaneous fistula following a thoracoscopic biopsy, which was successfully managed with an ultrasound-guided blood patch placed over the bronchial defect. We discuss the mechanism by which this is presumed to close a fistula, thus justifying it as a cost effective and minimally invasive modality of treatment.
我们报告了一例 36 岁免疫功能低下的男性患者，他在接受胸腔镜活检后出现了持续不愈的肺炎，并发展为支气管胸膜皮肤瘘。我们通过超声引导下在支气管缺损处进行血贴，成功地对其进行了治疗。我们讨论了这种方法被认为可以关闭瘘管的机制，从而证明其是一种具有成本效益和微创性的治疗方式。
