Abstract
Endoscopic techniques have been reported as viable options for the treatment of small ischemic bronchial dehiscence after major lung resection.1-4 Extended necrotic lesions (>1 cm) may represent life-threatening complications that often require reoperation for surgical repair, including completion pneumonectomy and vascularized flap transposition. We report the case of a patient with severe ischemic bronchial damage after bilobectomy who underwent successful, completely endoscopic treatment.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
