title: Bronchobiliary fistula successfully treated with n-butyl cyanoacrylate via a bronchial approach.
abstract: A bronchobiliary fistula is an abnormal communication between the biliary tree and the airway that can result in debilitating amounts of bilioptysis, or bile-stained sputum. The authors present an approach for the conservative management of a bronchobiliary fistula in a patient who failed traditional conservative therapy and refused surgical intervention.
