Abstract:
A 58-year-old man with primary lung cancer underwent lung radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Pneumothorax developed 12 days after lung RF ablation. Despite chest drainage for 1 month, air leakage continued through a bronchopleural fistula. Bronchial occlusion was performed with a silicone embolus, causing cessation of the air leakage.- In this: publication
