The use of detachable balloon occlusion in closure of bronchopleural fistulae was investigated in eight dogs. Fistula occlusion could not be achieved in one dog, and the balloon was not large enough to occlude a fistula in a second dog. Satisfactory fistula occlusion was achieved in the remaining six dogs. All fistulae occluded were shown to be satisfactorily healed at ten days. There were no significant sequelae to bronchial occlusion during this period. Detachable balloon occlusion of bronchopleural fistulae has the potential for satisfactory fistula control prior to more definitive surgery.
在八只犬中研究了使用可脱性球囊闭塞术闭合支气管胸膜瘘。一只犬未能实现瘘管闭塞，另一只犬的球囊不够大，无法闭塞瘘管。其余六只犬实现了满意的瘘管闭塞。所有闭塞的瘘管在十天时均显示愈合良好。在此期间，支气管闭塞无明显后遗症。在进行更确切的手术之前，可脱性球囊闭塞支气管胸膜瘘有可能实现对瘘管的满意控制。
