The use of a bone substitute composite in the management of a post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistula

Abstract: Post-pneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulas (BPFs) still represent a formidable therapeutic challenge. Several procedures have been proposed of which the least invasive are gaining distinct recognition and favour. We report the case of small-sized BPF treated by plastering the bronchial stump with a combination of bone substitute composite sprayed on a scaffold made of a Vycril mesh and placed on the mediastinal pleura overlying the right hilum.

“…5 Empyema due to BPF has generally been treated with tube drainage and pleural irrigation, surgical closure of the fi stula, and various fl aps to fi ll the dead space. 6,7 Minimally invasive interventions have recently been developed, such as the use of fi brin sealants, stent insertion, and one-way valve insertion under bronchoscopy. [8][9][10] However, management of large BPFs is diffi cult.…”

“…Se define fístula como aquella comunicación que se produce entre dos superficies epiteliales, por tanto, una fístula broncopleural (FBP) consiste en la existencia de una comunicación entre el árbol traqueo-bronquial y la cavidad pleural [116][117] (Figura 10). En otras ocasiones se puede decir que el término fístula broncopleural se refiere a la pérdida de aire inspirado en la cavidad pleural por un período de tiempo superior a 24 horas 118 .…”

“…Por último, se incluyen aquellas terapias preventivas que puedan ayudar a la profilaxis de la FBPN, intentando que esta complicación no se produzca tras una neumonectomía, las cuales se centran en la protección del muñón bronquial mediante cobertura con tejidos viables y vascularizados, que ayuden a promover una temprana curación del bronquio 117,124,126,138 . Entre otros, se han utilizado pleura parietal, músculo intercostal, vena ácigos y pericardio 124,139 .…”
