[A case of successful endoscopic treatment for traumatic bronchial rupture].
Successful endoscopic treatment with fibrin glue for traumatic bronchial rupture was reported. 21-year-old male, who was injured in a traffic accident was brought to ICU in our hospital. Six days after injury, bronchoscopic findings showed a rupture from right truncus intermedius to lower bronchus (B8). We preferred an endoscopic treatment with fibrin glue because of poor respiratory function caused by lung contusion as a complication and those resulted in successfully healing. In general, basic strategy for traumatic bronchial rupture is the earlier diagnosis and surgical treatment. But in a case of high risk for operation, we recommend endoscopic treatment with fibrin glue might be useful.
