Fig 1 Chest roentgenogram and bronchoscopic image before placement of a bronchial occlusion stent. (A) Chest roentgenogram showed a drop of the pleural fluid level within the pneumonectomy space and patchy consolidation in the right upper lobe. (B) Bronchoscopy revealed two mucosal defects in the left main bronchial stump.

Fig 3 Peroral placement of the bronchial occlusion stent. (A, B) The bronchial occlusion stent (arrow) was deployed in the remnant left main bronchus by pulling back the introducer sheath (arrowhead). (C) Bronchoscopy immediately after the procedure confirmed that the orifice of the fistula had completely closed.

Fig 4 Follow-up computed tomographic scan and roentgenogram. (A) The 1-year follow-up computed tomographic scan showed complete embedding of the distal portion of the stent within the soft tissue. The chest tube was then removed. (B) A chest roentgenogram obtained 3 months later showed nearly a complete obliteration of the pneumonectomy space.
