A bronchopleural fistula (BPF) is defined as communication between the bronchus and pleural cavity, and it is a dreaded complication of severe pulmonary disease. Surgical intervention, pleurodesis, and prolonged chest tube drainage have several disadvantages. To overcome these, many attempts have been made to treat BPF with bronchoscopy, especially with the insertion of an endobronchial one-way valve (EBV). Endobronchial valves for the treatment of BPF which had less trauma, relatively short operation time, better safety, and patients are more likely to accept this operation. If there is a definite efficacy, it should be widely used in later clinical practice. This study aimed to confirm the efficacy of endobronchial valves for the treatment of BPF.
