Temporary Endobronchial Occlusion in the Complex Treatment for Pleural Empyema with Bronchopleural Fistula
https://doi.org/10.23934/2223-9022-2025-14-4-820-827
Abstract
This article presents data from systemic reviews on the incidence of purulent complications leading to bronchial fistula formation, confirming the relevance of this research. The full range of diagnostic procedures for bronchial fistulas using endoscopic and radiographic techniques is presented. The results of using all possible endobronchial occluders for sealing air leaks from bronchopleural fistulas are also presented. The advantages and disadvantages of each of the presented occluders are described in detail. A vector for further development of optimal systems for bronchial occlusion in bronchopleural fistulas was identified.
