title: [The effectiveness of the valve bronchial occlusion in case of bronchopleural fistulas].
abstract: The experience of endobronchial valve «Medlung" installation in 24 patients with bronchopleural fistula was summarized in the article. In 18 (75%) patients the cause of bronchopleural fistula was purulent - destructive processes in the lungs, including the associated trauma in 4 (22.2%) patients, pneumonia in 14 (77.8%) patients. In 3 (12.5%) cases the cause of the bronchopleural fistula was the lung tumors of different localization and in 3 (12.5%) cases - idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Reasonable use of endobronchial valve in patients with bronchopleural fistula provides a persistent separation of the fistula and lets to avoid extensive, traumatic operations.
