ABSTRACT
Bronchopleural fistula, one of the most serious complications following pneumonectomy, has a complicated treatment protocol and carries a high mortality rate. We present a case report of a 75-year-old female with squamous cell carcinoma of the lower lobe with positive peribronchial hilar nodes who underwent a right pneumonectomy. She represented with a large bronchopleural fistula one month postoperatively, eventually treated by a novel tracheobronchial stenting procedure.
