Closure of bronchopleural fistulas can be accomplished by applying fibrin
glue through a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope. The advantages of this
method include the avoidance of general anesthesia and thoracotomy and the
excellent extended access to the bronchial tree provided by the flexible
bronchoscope.
