Patients with bronchopleural fistula are at an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Treatment of the air leak includes intrathoracic drainage, antibiotic therapy and closure of the fistula, which conventionally has been performed via surgical means. In patients with limited respiratory capacity, less-invasive alternatives are required. Here we report on a 62-year-old patient with underlying severe COPD, who was admitted with a lung abscess and consecutively developed a persistent bronchopleural fistula. Treatment involved antibiotic therapy and endobronchial one-way valve placement, which resulted in termination of the air leak and full recovery.
