Abstract
Bronchopleural and alveolopleural fistulae from surgical and nonsurgical causes present unique management issues. A myriad of strategies have been employed to diminish airflow through the fistulous tracts. Frequently, treatment approaches need to be individually tailored on the basis of fistula size and location and to limit morbidity associated with treatment options. In unstable patients, a combination or staging of minimally invasive and surgical approaches may be necessary. Unfortunately, necessary resources may not be readily available for emergent intervention in all cases. We describe a novel approach of predeployment length modification of a self-expanding metallic airway stent. Deployment of this modified stent completely abrogated airflow through the intractable alveolopleural fistula that caused profound respiratory failure.
