Successful Sealing of Post-COVID-19 Bronchopleural Fistula with Computed Tomography Scan-Guided Percutaneous Cyanoacrylate Glue Injection : A Case Series

Copyright: © Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences..

Bronchopleural fistula (BPF), a sinus tract between the bronchial system and the pleural space, is associated with COVID-19 and can lead to pneumothorax, which increases the mortality rate. Due to the analytical status of COVID-19 patients, sealing the BPF necessitates the least minimal invasive treatment. Herein, we demonstrated a technique of sealing post-COVID-19 BPF with direct injection of cyanoacrylate glue under the guidance of a computed tomography scan. Following glue injection, the BPF was completely sealed in all four patients. In conclusion, in COVID-19 patients with small and distal BPF, percutaneous glue injection is recommended for BPF closure.
