- W2153462216 abstract "We read with interest the article by Andreetti et al. regarding the treatment of post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula (PPBPF) by self-expandable stent and we agree that this modality can be in the armamentarium of cardiothoracic surgeons [1].PPBPF is one of the most serious and lethal complications in thoracic surgery. There are well-known predisposing factors related to this devastating postoperative complication such as extensive bronchial devascularization, right-sided pneumonectomy, long residual bronchial stump, neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy, regional radiotherapy, diabetes mellitus, steroid therapy, prolonged mechanical ventilation, history of smoking, pre-existing empyema, incomplete resection of cancer at the bronchial margins, decreased albumin levels (less than 3.5 mg/dL), male gender, and technique of bronchial stump closure [2, 3].From the beginning of thoracic surgery, many different methods have been used to prevent the development of PPBPF [2, 3]. Pedicled pericardial flap or pericardial fat pad, pleura, intercostal muscle, diaphragm, and azygos vein (for right pneumonectomy) have been used as an additional coverage of bronchial stub wound with very good results [2, 3].Brewer et al. in 1953 were the first ones who reported on their experimental and clinical work on the use of pedicled pericardial fat graft for reinforcement of bronchial closure in patients with pulmonary resection [4].Taghavi et al. in 2005, in their retrospective study of 96 patients who underwent pneumonectomy (89.2% for primary lung cancer) and had covered bronchial stump with a pedicled pericardial flap, did not notice any evidence of PPBPF during the perioperative and postoperative period (mean follow up 15 ± 21.2 months) [2].Sfyridis et al. in 2007, in their prospective randomised trial of 70 patients with diabetes mellitus who underwent pneumonectomy and were randomised to have their bronchial stump covered with an intercostal muscle flap or not; found that the group with the covered bronchial stump had a lower incidence of PPBPF (0% versus 8.8%; p = 0.02) and of empyema (0% versus 7.4%; p = 0.05) compared with the group not covered, at a mean follow-up of 18 ± 9.2 months [3].Endobronchial valves have also been used to good effect in patients with persistent pulmonary air leaks (refractory to other therapy) secondary to alveolopleural fistula and to bronchopleural fistula as well [5].In conclusion, in high risk patients the consideration of an effective method for covered bronchial stump for the prevention of the development of PPBLF is very important. Therefore, the multidisciplinary approach for the ideal treatment of patients with PBPF should be on an individual basis and is of paramount importance.Conflict of Interest: None declared" @default.
