Abstract
Bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is a rare but significant cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients undergoing surgical lung resection. The mainstay of treatment for BPF is revision of surgical stump. We describe a case of persistent bronchopleural fistula treated with a novel combination of argon plasma coagulation and fibrin glue.
