Abstract
Broncho-pleural fistula (BPF) and esophago-pleural fistula (EPF) after pulmonary resection are challenging to
manage. BPF is controlled by irrigation and sterilization, but such therapy is not sufficient to promote closure of
EPF, which usually requires surgical management. However, it is generally difficult to select an appropriate surgical
method for closure of BPF and EPF. Here, we report a case of concomitant BPF and EPF after left completion
pneumonectomy, in which both fistulas were closed through a right thoracotomy.
