Occluding spiral embolus for treatment of refractory pulmonary fistula

A 57-year-old man was admitted for pulmonary emphysema. Volume-reduction-surgery (VRS) was performed. Three days later, after he coughed hard, the right lung collapsed. Although surgery was repeated, the air leakage continued. Air leakage was immediately reduced by means of bronchial embolization with a spiral embolus. We suggest that bronchial embolization with a spiral embolus causes little harm and is an effective treatment for refractory pulmonary fistula in poor-risk patients.
