1. Results There were no postoperative bronchopleural fistula and thoracic empyema in all patients. 554 cases successfully sutured while 8 cases had air leakage in the stump.

2. Methods: 2 patients with postpneumectomic bronchopleural fistula were treated by the covered tracheal stent.

3. Objective: To summarize our experience on treatment of bronchopleural fistula through submucosal injection of sclerosing agent -1% polidocanol using flexible bronchoscope.

4. Methods 3 patients with recalcitrant bronchopleural fistula underwent transsternal transpericardial closure of a bronchopleural fistula and drainage by open thoracostomy.

5. Result There was no bronchopleural fistula, tracheobronchial restenosis and death due to operation.

6. Objetive To probe into some factors on bronchopleural fistula after pulmonary resection.

7. Postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerver was reversibly damaged in 1, no atelectasis and bronchopleural fistula in anyone.

8. Objective To summarize the experience of the prevention and treatment on bronchopleural fistula (BF) complicated after pneumonectomy.

9. The complication of pulmonary atelectasis and pleural effusion was in 11 cases, pulmonary infection in 5 cases, empyema in 3 cases, bronchopleural fistula in 2 cases.

10. Rusults The postoperative mortality was 3 cases, there were 18 cases complicated with lung infection, 15 with arrhythmia, 5 with respiratory failure, 3 with hemothorax, 1 with bronchopleural fistula.

11. To investigate the effect of double-bevel suturing technique on preventing bronchopleural fistula in closing the bronchus stump.

12. There were no death during perioperative period,() and the common complications were subcutaneous emphysema and bronchopleural fistula.

13. All the 5 patients suffered fistula 1 - 13 days after esophagogastrostomy; bronchopleural fistula occurred in 2 patients.

14. Postoperative cardiovascular complications were seen in 12 cases (3 hypotension, 9 arrhythmia), bronchopleural fistula and stress related gastric ulcer was seen in 4 and 2 cases, respectively.

15. Conclusion The clinical effects using bronchial occluder mechanical suture bronchial stump are reliable and safe, decrease the occurrence of bronchopleural fistula.

16. Conclusions Surgical treatment is a good method to treat the COPE with bronchopleural fistula, and carrying out LVRS while the operation is beneficial to improve the poor lung function.

17. The way of covering the stumps of bronchi with mediastinal pleura could reduce the incidence of bronchopleural fistula.

18. From 1976 to 1996, 11 patients with Postpneumonectomy associated Bronchopleural Fistula ( BPF ) were treated surglcally.

19. Methods Using the emphysematous bulla ligation and the unilateral lung volume reduction to treat old COPE patients with bronchopleural fistula.

20. Objective To evaluate the diagnosis and therapy of post - pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula ( BPF ) .
