Late Esophagopleural Fistula after Pneumonectomy for Bronchial Carcinoma

M. Efthimiadis M.D.; D. Xanthakis M.D.; N. Primikyrios M.D.; G. Papadakis M.D.; and C. J. Aligizakis M.D.

We report one case of esophagopleural fistula occurring after right pneumonectomy. Pathogenesis and management of this complication are briefly discussed. Drainage of the empyema and direct closure of the fistula, with coverage by a pedicle flap of the intercostal muscle are the best methods of treatment.
