title: Splenobronchial fistula: interventional radiologic management.
abstract: A 71-year-old man had a splenic abscess complicated by rupture into the left subphrenic space with formation of a splenobronchial fistula. One percutaneous catheter was placed into the splenic abscess and a second was placed in the subphrenic collection. The abscesses resolved and the bronchial fistula closed in 12 days.
